- A Soft X-ray Laser (SXL) beamline utilising FEL technology is being designed for the Short Pulse Facility (SPF) at the MAX IV Laboratory. A conceptual design study has been started following on the scientific case already prepared in collaboration between several Swedish Universities and driven by a strong (Swedish) user demand. The baseline goal of the SXL beamline is to generate intense and short pulses in the range 1-5 nm (0.2-1 keV). The system is building on the MAX IV linac system, already today providing 100 fs 3 GeV and pulses compressed to 100 fs for other applications within the SPF. As a special feature we foresee a variety of pump-probe capabilities.

- A Soft X-ray Laser project (the SXL) aiming to produce FEL radiation in the range of 1 to 5 nm is currently in a conceptual design phase and a report on the design is expected to be delivered by March 2021. The FEL will be driven by the existing 3 GeV linac at MAX IV laboratory, which also serves as injector for the two storage rings. The science case has been pushed by a large group of mainly Swedish users and consists of experiments ranging from AMO physics to condensed matter, chemistry and imaging in life science. In this contribution, we will present the current conceptual design of the accelerator and the FEL operation modes together with a general overview of the beamline and experimental station. In particular design options for the FEL will be discussed in conjunction with the features of the electron beam from the MAX IV linac and the connection with the proposed experiments.

- Resonant optical antennas supporting plasmon polaritons (SPPs) – collective excitations of electrons coupled to electromagnetic fields in a medium – are relevant to sensing, photovoltaics and light emitting devices, among others. Due to the SPP dispersion, a conventional antenna of fixed geometry, exhibiting a narrow SPP resonance, cannot simultaneously operate in two different spectral bands. In contrast, this study demonstrates that in metallic disks, separated by a nanometric spacer, the hybridized anti-bonding SPP mode stays in the visible range, while the bonding one can be pushed down to the mid-infrared range. Such an SPP dimer can sense two materials of nanoscale volumes, whose fingerprint central frequencies differ by a factor of 5. Additionally, the mid-infrared SPP resonance can be tuned by employing a phase-change material (VO2) as a spacer. The dielectric constant of the phase-change material is controlled by heating the material at the frequency of the anti-bonding optical mode. Our findings open the door to a new class of optoelectronic devices able to operate in significantly different frequency ranges in the linear regime, and with the same polarization of the illuminating wave.

- Starting from the rigorous excitation equation, the propagation of waves through a 2D waveguide with the periodically corrugated finite-length insert is examined in detail. The corrugation profile is chosen to obey the property that its amplitude is small as compared to the waveguide width, whereas the sharpness of the asperities is arbitrarily large. With the aid of the method of mode separation, which was developed earlier for inhomogeneous-in-bulk waveguide systems [Waves Random Media 2000; 10: 395], the corrugated segment of the waveguide is shown to serve as the effective scattering barrier whose width is coincident with the length of the insert and the average height is controlled by the sharpness of boundary asperities. Due to this barrier, the mode spectrum of the waveguide can be substantially rarefied and adjusted so as to reduce the number of extended modes to the value arbitrarily less than that in the absence of corrugation (up to zero), without changing considerably the waveguide average width.

- The problem of stimulated spontaneous emission in a free electron laser oscillator with planar waveguide and cylindrical mirrors is under consideration. An efficient computational scheme for calculation of the electromagnetic radiation driven by short electron bunches is proposed. Using expansion of the electromagnetic field in a planar waveguide over optical-waveguide modes the inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation governing the mode amplitude has been derived. The reflected from mirrors electromagnetic radiation is described in the framework of initial-boundary problem for the homogeneous 1D Klein-Gordon equation. The Green function approach to the Klein-Gordon equation allowed us to obtain an unconditionally stable and computationally efficient numerical scheme describing the self-consistent evolution of electron bunches and electromagnetic fields.

Design study of a low-emittance high-repetition rate thermionic rf gun

- We propose a novel gridless continuous-wave radiofrequency (rf) thermionic gun capable of generating nC ns electron bunches with a rms normalized slice emittance close to the thermal level of 0.3 mm mrad. In order to gate the electron emission, an externally heated thermionic cathode is installed into a stripline-loop conductor. Two high-voltage pulses propagating towards each other in the stripline-loop overlap in the cathode region and create a quasielectrostatic field gating the electron emission. The repetition rate of pulses is variable and can reach up to one MHz with modern solid-state pulsers. The stripline attached to a rf gun cavity wall has with the wall a common aperture that allows the electrons to be injected into the rf cavity for further acceleration. Thanks to this innovative gridless design, simulations suggest that the bunch emittance is approximately at the thermal level after the bunch injection into the cavity provided that the geometry of the cathode and aperture are properly designed. Specifically, a concave cathode is adopted to imprint an.-shaped distribution onto the beam transverse phase-space to compensate for an S-shaped beam distribution created by the spherical aberration of the aperture-cavity region. In order to compensate for the energy spread caused by rf fields of the rf gun cavity, a 3rd harmonic cavity is used. A detailed study of the electrodynamics of the stripline and rf gun cavity as well as the beam optics and bunch dynamics are presented.
