Abstract: Broad band continuous and high intensity coherent synchrotron radiation (SR) emitted from the 4ps electron bunches provided by the 30MeV linac of BFEL setup is analyzed and numerically calculated. High intensity coherent SRs in the mm-wave region and in the far IR to mm-wave region can be obtained respectively by directly using these bunches and by compressing their pulse widths to 1ps or sub ps. The later as a coherent source of radiation is of high value in applications because it is within the wavelength region where the coherent radiation source is lacked. The CSR power is enhanced by a factor of 108—109,approximately the number of electrons per bunch, compared to incoherent SR. The coherent SR power is within hundreds micro-watts to milli-watts dependent upon the chosen wavelength and gathering angle regions. Experimental designs on CSR generation and bunch length measurement are presented.
