A long undulator is a direct way to create a brilliant synchrotron radiation source. However, the length of undulators has been bounded by technical limitations and available space in accelerators. The first long undulator was developed at SPring-8, which is a third-generation synchrotron radiation facility equipped with four 30-m-long straight sections, making it the most brilliant x-ray source in the world. The magnets are placed inside a vacuum chamber and this makes it possible to arrange 780 periods continuously for 25 m. The absolute flux and spectrum of the output radiation were measured and compared with theory. The observed spectrum is in a good agreement with theory once the electron beam orbit was corrected for geomagnetic fields. ©2002 American Institute of Physics.

  4. Angular photon flux density, which is the number of photons per second emitted in a unit solid angle and in a certain narrow band, increases as square of the number of undulator periods for zero emittance beams. Brilliance, however, is directly proportional, since the two-dimensional transverse source area (sigma<sub>p</sub><sup>2</sup>) increases linearly with undulator length (L) according to Eq. (3).

  11. Since the slit used at the present measurement was a movable front-end slit, the discrepancy between the measurement and calculation in Fig. 4 is mainly due to errors in the slit aperture.
  12. Estimation of the Bose degeneracy assumes a peak beam current of 250 A and a six-dimensional coherence volume of (lambda/2)3, which is a product of three-dimensional spatial volume V, solid angle dOmega, and a relative bandwidth dlambda/lambda. Note that the six rms coherence sizes are multiplied by (sqrt(2 pi ))6. The coherence volume of (lambda/2)3 can also be derived from the mode density parameter rho, rhodk = (k2V/2pi2)dk, k = 2pi/lambda, for horizontal polarization [see, for example, R. Loudon, The Quantum Theory of Light (Clarendon, Oxford, 1983)]. In the case of undulator radiation, we should divide rho by total solid angle 4pi/8 (since rho is defined for kx, ky, kz>0), then (2rho/pi)dkdOmega= (2/lambda)3 V(dlambda/lambda)dOmega and (lambda/2)3 is a six-dimensional volume occupied by one mode.
