Popis: The near-infrared Rocketdyne/Stanford free electron laser (FEL) uses a very-high-quality precision undulator whose field strength and field taper are adjustable. The Rocketdyne undulator has been operated in both an amplifier configuration, as in the master-oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) experiments, and an oscillator configuration, as in the photocathode and tapered-undulator experiments. The tapered-undulator experiment was performed at the Stanford Photon Research Laboratory (SPRL) using an electron beam supplied by the Mark III rf-linac, During the experiment we observed sustained oscillations as the undulator magnetic-field taper was continuously tuned from 0% to 10%. We observed /spl equiv/ 1.2% extraction efficiency for a magnetic-field taper of 9.6%. During the same experiment we observed sustained oscillations as the undulator gap was continuously varied over 120 mil. Details of the experiment are presented.
