Advanced capabilities for future light sources.
Methods to extend the capabilities of light sources beyond those available at the current generation synchrotron radiation sources based on undulators in electron storage rings are discussed. Taking advantage of the radiation-particle interaction and/or the availability of high-power ultrashort optical lasers, it is possible to develop sources with higher brightness, smaller temporal resolution, or higher photon energy. This paper is a summary of some of these schemes, with an emphasis on new ideas rather than on a comprehensive review.
