Abstract

In this paper, we report first lasing results in the near-UV and visible spectral ranges with the OK-4/Duke storage ring - the first storage ring FEL operating in the United States. The OK-4/Duke FEL was commissioned in November 1996 and demonstrated lasing in the 345-413 nm range with extracted power of 0.15 W. In addition to lasing, the OK-4/Duke FEL generated a nearly monochromatic (1% FWHM) γ-ray beams. In this paper, we describe initial performance of the OK-4/Duke storage ring FEL and γ-ray source in this demonstration experiment. We briefly discuss the present status of the project and its future user program.
