Exploring Laser Heater Wavelength Tuning for Microbunching Instability Suppression in Free-Electron Lasers

Abstract

This paper derives the optimal Laguerre–Gaussian laser heater waist for microbunching suppression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that wavelength tuning up to μm remains effective for Free-Electron Lasers with proper parameter adjustments.
