摘要
Seeded single pass free-electron lasers are promising coherent, short-duration, and intense light sources, from the visible to x rays. Operated with adjustable undulators, they are also a unique device for providing fully variable polarized radiation. We report here the first seeding of helical undulators with a variable polarized source. We demonstrate that the adjustment of the seed polarization and focusing allows the free-electron laser radiation to be optimized in terms of intensity and quality.
