Abstract To reduce the linac energy, and hence the size required for a Free Electron Laser radiating at a given wavelength, a smaller undulator period with sufficient field strength is needed. Previous work from our group successfully demonstrated a microwave undulator at 11.424 GHz using a corrugated cylindrical waveguide operating in the HE11 mode. Scaling down the undulator period using this technology poses the challenge of confining and coupling* the electromagnetic fields while maintaining over-moded features for power handling capability and electron beam wakefield mitigation. In this work, we present a novel end section of an RF undulator at 91.392 GHz. To confine the fields inside the undulator, a corrugated waveguide is connected through a matching section to a linear taper and a mirror. After the mirror, a Bragg reflector and a matching section are used to reflect back all the fields leaking out of the mirror opening.
