Latest developments and performance of the FLUTE laser system — •Matthias Nabinger, Thiemo Schmelzer, Michael Johannes Nasse, Nigel Smale, Jens Schäfer, Carl Sax, and Anke-Susanne Müller — Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe, Deutschland

At the FLUTE linac-based accelerator short electron bunches are generated via a photo-injector system. The electrons are produced by laser pulses transported over several meters from the laser laboratory towards the photocathode. To ensure a controlled operation, the laser parameters are monitored and adjusted at several positions. In addition to electron generation, the pulses are used to generate THz pulses for a specific diagnostic experiment. Multiple systems are used to stabilize the laser pulses for optimal use. In this contribution, the latest developments of the FLUTE laser's improved performance will be presented.
