Mission: The Source Development Laboratory is a research and development facility dedicated to the production of ultra-bright electron beams and novel free electron radiation sources for fundamental scientific applications. Goals: The R&D program at the SDL is designed to complement the two storage ring light sources at the NSLS. The SDL emphasizes the creation of Ultra-Violet high gain free electron lasers (FELs) in the wavelength range of 100-800 nm. To achieve this requires the development of state-of-the-art electron beams with peak currents ~ 500 Amperes and a normalized emittance ~ 2-5 microns. The coherent UV radiation will be used to facilitate novel chemistry experiments in FY03. The beam dynamics and FEL R&D at the SDL makes important contributions to the international effort to realize x-ray FELs. Facilities:

The National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York, is a national user research
facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Basic Energy Science. The NSLS operates two electron
storage rings: an X-Ray ring and a Vacuum UltraViolet (VUV) ring which provide intense light spanning the electromagnetic
spectrum from the infrared through x-rays. Each year over 2300 scientists from universities, industries and government
labs perform research at the NSLS.
