The undulators of the ELBE FELs
At the ELBE facility two permanent magnet undulators are installed producing light in the mid and far infrared region.
- The undulator U37 can be tuned from 5 μm to approximately 38 μm.
- The U100 undulator extends the wavelength range up to about 280 μm.

The wavelength of the produced light is determined by the energy of the electron beam and by the magnetic undulator field. The latter is characterized by the undulator parameter Krms which is determined by the number NU of undulator periods and by the length λU of a period according to
where BUrms is the rms field amplitude on the undulator axis. (m: electron rest mass, -e: electron charge, c: vacuum velocity of light)
