  We are developing an accelerator-based terahertz source that can produce arbitrary polarization states from linearly polarized coherent undulator radiation (CUR). The polarization manipulation of the CUR can be realized using the Martin’Puplett interferometer employed as an optical phase shifter. This study also demonstrates a variable polarization manipulator by using the terahertz CUR (THz-CUR) source based on an extremely short electron bunch at Research Center for Electron Photon Science (ELPH), Tohoku University. The horizontally polarized CUR with a frequency of 1.9 THz was manipulated into variable polarization state, and Stokes parameters were measured to derive the degree of polarization. Beam experimental results will be presented in this conference.

The highest extraction efficiency (9.4%) of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) oscillator has been achieved at the mid-infrared FEL facility of Kyoto University*. The FEL is driven by a normal conducting linac consisting of a thermionic/photocathode RF gun and a traveling wave accelerator tube. The dynamic cavity desynchronization method**,*** was used to achieve the high extraction efficiency with a short macro-pulse duration (7 micro-s). Because of the interaction between the electron beam and FEL electromagnetic field, a maximum electron energy decrease of 16% was observed. An FEL micro-pulse energy of ~100 micro-J with the micro-pulse duration of 150 fs at the wavelength of 11 micro-m was observed. The detailed structure of the FEL micro-pulse was measured using a fringe resolved autocorrelation with a phase retrieval algorithm. As a result, superradiance ringing (or Burnham Chiao ringing), i.e. generation of multiple sub-pulses and 180-degree phase jumps between those sub-pulses, was experimentally observed for the first time in an FEL oscillator.
