Abstract
Previously we presented a design for a kilowatt demonstration industrial UVFEL [1].
Progress has been made in resolving several design issues identified in that work. More exact
simulations of the injector have resulted in a better estimate of the injector performance. A more
compact lattice has been designed meeting the design requirements for the UV FEL, and a new
design point has been studied which greatly increases the threshold for longitudinal instabilities. A
stability analysis of the RF control system has found that only minor modifications from the
existing CEBAF controls will be necessary to allow them to be used with a high current, energy-
recovery accelerator. Designs for the optical cavity length and figure control systems have been
conceptualized and a model of the corner-cube resonator is being built and tested. Finally, three-
dimensional simulations of the FEL have been carried out which show that the laser should exceed
its minimum design goals for average power
