A method for reversing the laser modulation in a Storage ring

Abstract

The pursuit of coherent radiation generation remains a central focus in advancing storage ring light sources. Despite the promise of laser modulation in achieving this goal, it brings about a noticeable decline in beam quality. Efforts to mitigate this decline have resulted in the proposal of demodulation schemes. However, implementing modulation and demodulation within the storage ring presents significant challenges due to dynamical and spatial constraints within straight sections. In this study, we propose a straightforward and easily implementable method for achieving reversible laser modulation in a storage ring. Notably, our approach circumvents the need for special storage ring requirements, such as lengthy straight sections or bypass section. Simulation results demonstrate a substantial restoration of beam quality following demodulation. This innovative scheme holds great promise for the realization of high repetition rate coherent storage ring light sources.
