Abstract

We propose the use of an optical parametric amplifier (OPA), with a ∼ 12-μm on wavelength for optical stochastic cooling (Phys. Rev. Lett. 71 (1993) 4146; Phys. Rev. E 50 (1994) 3087) of gold ions in the relativistic heavy ion collider. The use of infrared wavelengths in comparison with the visible ensures a higher efficiency interaction of heavy ions withlight in the kicker undulator. The transition to longer wavelength also relaxes the requirements for stability of the path length during ion-beam transport between pickup and kicker.
