Abstract

We present a numerical platform for 3D imaging and general analysis of multidimensional complex THz fields. A special 3D visualization is obtained by converting electromagnetic (EM) radiation to a light field via the Wigner distribution function, which is known for discovering (revealing) hidden details. This allows for 3D diagnostics using the simple techniques of geometrical optics, which significantly facilitates the whole analysis. This simulation was applied to a complex field composed of complex beams emitted as ultra-narrow femtosecond pulses. A method was developed for the generation of phase–amplitude and spectral characteristics of complex multimode radiation in a free-electron laser (FEL) operating under various parameters. The tool was successful at diagnosing an early design of the transmission line (TL) of an innovative accelerator at the Schlesinger Family Center for Compact Accelerators, Radiation Sources, and Applications.
