abstract:	VISA (Visible to Infrared SASE Amplifier) is a high-gain self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) free-electron laser (FEL), which achieved saturation at 840 nm within a single-pass 4-m undulator. A gain length shorter than 18 cm has been obtained, yielding the gain of 2x10(8) at saturation. The FEL performance, including the spectral, angular, and statistical properties of SASE radiation, has been characterized for different electron beam conditions. The results are compared to 3-D SASE FEL theory and start-to-end numerical simulations of the entire injector, transport, and FEL system. Detailed agreement between simulations and experimental results is obtained over the wide range of the electron beam parameters.

title:	Properties of an Ultra-Short Gain Length, Saturated, Self-Amplified Spontaneous Emission FEL

abstract:	The VISA experiment, conducted at the BNL Accelerator Test Facility (ATF), has studied the properties of SASE FEL process in a saturating system. The experiment utilized a high brightness electron beam and a strong focusing undulator. Saturated gain greater than 108, with a power gain length below 18 cm, was obtained at 840 nm. Measurements of FEL gain, spectral and angular properties of SASE radiation are reported, and the results are compared to theory and to start-to-end simulations of the system. FEL performance was found critically dependent on the compression of the electron beam.

title:	Characterization of an 800 nm SASE FEL at saturation
format:	conference procceeding
conference:	23rd International Free Electron Laser Conference
year:	2002

abstract:	Visible to Infrared SASE Amplifier is a free electron laser (FEL) designed to saturate at a radiation wavelength of 800 nm within a 4 m long, strong focusing undulator. A large gain is achieved by driving the FEL with 72 MeV, high brightness beam of BNL's accelerator test facility. We present measurements that demonstrate saturation in addition to the frequency spectrum of the FEL radiation. Energy, gain length and spectral characteristics are compared and shown to agree with simulation and theoretical predictions. (16 References).

abstract:	The VISA (Visible to Infrared SASE Amplifier) SASE free electron laser has been successfully operated at the Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) at BNL. High gain and saturation were observed at 840 nm. We describe here the diagnostic system, experimental procedures and data reduction algorithms, as the FEL performance was measured along the length of the undulator. We also discuss selected spectral radiation measurements. (10 References).

abstract:	The visible to infrared SASE amplifier (VISA) FEL is designed to obtain high gain at a radiation wavelength of 800 nm. The FEL uses the high brightness electron beam of the accelerator test facility (ATF), with energy of 72 MeV. VISA uses a novel, 4 m long, strong focusing undulator with a gap of 6 mm and a period of 1.8 cm. To obtain large gain the beam and undulator axis have to be aligned to better than 5 mu m. Results from initial measurements on the alignment, gain, and spectrum will be presented and compared to theoretical calculations and simulations. (10 References).
