Page 8 Interferogram, Spectrum, and Bunch Profile  New “double waist” electron optics from Yr to reduce spot size at THz foils (113um x 65um)  Three different pyrometers as the autocorrelator detectors  THz content up to about 4 THz, with features from water vapor and etalon effect of the detector  Reconstruction in time domain using K-K Relation  Low-frequency compensation due to finite optical apertures  Bunch length estimation compares well with TCAV

Page 9 Pulse Energy, Field Strength, and Spot Profile Improved SLC machine tuning and bunch compression  Measured 1.7 mJ pulse energy (1.75 mJ from calculation)  1.24mm by 1.40mm focal spot size  Estimated 0.6 GV/m peak E-field strength (can improve by tighter focus) Pyrocam Image After linear polarizer

Page 10 Time Domain Spectroscopy  Coarse timing done by a PEM detector for both 800nm and THz (~100 picosecond uncertainty)  Fine timing by EO effect of nonlinear crystal GaP and ZnTe (1 to 2 picosecond)  Provide 1-ps level electron and photon synchronization  A direct THz waveform measurement  Scan needed, e- and photon pointing and timing jitter add noise “time zero”

Page 11 THz Induced Material Switching  VO 2 film shows IOM transition on ps timescale  Direct THz field induction allows transition dynamics study  Sample transmission change of ~5% under current THz field and room T.  Need one order of magnitude higher peak field strength  1V/Å * M.K.

Page 12 Potential Enhancement at FACET-II  Shorter bunch to push the peak E-field (Compression in 3 dimensions) ~ 30um bunch length  Peak at 1 THz, 0.6 GV/m e-field To boost to 10 THz, we need ~ 3um bunch length, may reach tens of V/Å (At LCLS, ~ 9um bunch length, 50um spot size and 350 pC gave 4.4 GV/m) FACET FACET-II THz

Page 13 Potential Enhancement at FACET-II  Smaller e- spot size on the foil  Typical spot size 250 x 150 um 2 at FACET THz foil  Measured 33% pulse energy increase from ~ 1000 x 100 um 2 spot (old optics)  Drilled holes and eventually tore up the foil CDR may be a solution σ z = 30um, pulse energy flat out below 100um spot size Spot size in the ~ 30um range to reach 1V/Å at 1mJ and σ z = 3 um
