- Nonlinear harmonic generation can be a very useful and important phenomenon for single-pass free-electron lasers (FELs) operating in the high-gain regime. Strong bunching at the fundamental wavelength and its associated higher harmonic content allow significant radiation at shorter wavelengths to be emitted without serious effects upon the output power at the fundamental. Here, we analyze the relative sensitivities to beam quality variations of the output fundamental and harmonic powers for a visible-wavelength FEL operating in the high-gain regime.

- SASE saturation was recently achieved at the Advanced Photon Source's SASE FFL in the low-energy undulator test line at 530 nm and 385 urn. The electron beam microbunching becomes more and more prominent until saturation is achieved. This bunching causes nonlinear harmonic emission that extends the usefulness of a SASE system in achieving shorter FEL wavelengths for the same electron beam energy. We have investigated the intensity of the fundamental and second harmonic undulator radiation as a function of distance along the undulator line and present the experimental results and compare them to numerical simulations. In addition, we have measured the single-shot second harmonic spectra as well as the simultaneous fundamental and second harmonic spectra and present the experimental results.

The sensitivity of nonlinear harmonic generation to electron beam quality in free electron lasers

- The generation of harmonics through a nonlinear mechanism driven by bunching at the fundamental has sparked interest as a path toward enhancing and extending the usefulness of an X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facility. The sensitivity of the nonlinear harmonic generation to undulator imperfections, electron beam energy spread, peak current, and emittance is important in an evaluation of the process. Typically, linear instabilities in FELs are characterized by increased sensitivity to both electron beam and undulator quality with increasing harmonic number. However, since the nonlinear harmonic generation mechanism is driven by the growth of the fundamental, the sensitivity of the nonlinear harmonic mechanism is not expected to be significantly greater than that of the fundamental. In this paper, we study the effects of electron beam quality, more specifically, emittance, energy spread, and peak current, on the nonlinear harmonics in a 1.5-Angstrom FEL, and show that the decline in the harmonic emission roughly follows that of the fundamental.

- A Cu(II) complex [CuCl(C19H20N40)]ClO4 1 containing hydroxymethyl substituted TPA (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine) was prepared. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c with a = 11.7628(2), b = 13.0083(3), c = 15.11280(10) Angstrom, beta = 108.724(2)degrees, V = 2190.09(7) Angstrom(3), M-r = 518.83, Z = 4, T = 293 (2) K, D-c = 1.574 g/cm(3), mu = 1.280 mm(-1), F(000) = 1060 and S = 1.085. The final R = 0.0543 and wR = 0.1433 for 2693 observed reflections with I >2sigma(I). The penta-coordinated copper (H) complex. assumes an approximate square pyramidal geometry. Cyclic voltammetry measurement of the complex showed a quasi-reversible Cu-II/Cu-I redox couple with E-1/2 -0.467 v and DeltaE = 68 mv.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Seven new manganese(II, III, IV) pyridinecarboxylate compounds (Et4N)[MnCl2(pic)(2)] (1, Hpic = picolinic acid) [MnCl(Pic)(2)(H2O)].H2O (2), [MnCl(pic)(H2O)2](n) (3), [Mn(Pic)(2)](n) (4), [MnCl(pic)](n) (5), [MnCl2(4-C5H4NHCOO)](n) (6) and [Mn2O2(pic)(4)] (7) were synthesized and structurally characterized. The picolinate ligand coordinates to the Mn ion forming a chelating five-membered ring which constructs diverse architectures by various bridging modes, such as mu-Cl, mu(1,1)(-) and mu(1,3)-carboxylate bridges (syn-syn and syn-anti modes). The interaction between the pyridyl rings is discussed, displaying a face-to-face pi-pi stacking for complex 6 and a T-shaped C-H...pi attraction for complex 4. Complex 3 has an infinite zigzag chain structure in which two neighboring Mn ions are linked by a carboxylate bridge in a syn-anti mode. In complex 4, the Mn(pic)(2) fragments are joined to each other by double mu(1,1)-carboxylate bridges, forming a 2D layer structure. Complex 5 contains Mn4O4 square subunits which are connected by double mu-Cl bridges to form a grid-like 2D structure. The isonicotinate complex 6 has a zigzag chain structure containing mixed double mu-Cl and mu(1,3)-carboxylate bridges in a syn-syn mode. Protonation at the pyridyl-N position was found and identified by the IR and magnetic properties of 6. The participation of an oxidizing agent like MnO4- leads to complexes containing higher valent manganese (1, 2 and 7). The IR spectra of these complexes are discussed and found to be consistent with the structural features. The magnetic properties of complexes 4, 5 and 6 have been investigated. Antiferromagnetic coupling interactions were observed and satisfactory fitting results were obtained with J values ranging from -0.63 cm(-1) to -2.35 cm(-1). The magnetic parameters of these complexes, together with the parameters of other Mn complexes with comparable structures, are compared and discussed based on the bridging modes.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The Low-Energy Undulator Test Line (LEUTL) at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, is intended to demonstrate the basic operation of a SASE-based free-electron laser. Goals include comparison of experimental results With theoretical predictions and scaling laws, identification of problems relevant to fourth-generation light source construction and operation and the means of addressing them, the development of operational and diagnostic techniques to optimize SASE FEL performance and increase repeatability from run to run. and performance of initial pioneering experiments capable of exploiting the unique properties of the laser. The basic layout and operational philosophy of the LEUTL experiment is presented. A summary of past results, including saturation, is reviewed, and a description of recent results is presented. We conclude with future plans, which include pressing to shorter wavelengths and incorporating user experiments into the LEUTL experimental program.
