| contents | Terawatt x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) require high current densities with strong transverse focusing. The implications on harmonic generation are discussed using the MINERVA simulation code which self-consistently includes harmonic generation. We consider helical and planar undulators where the fundamental is at 1.5 Angstrom and study the associated harmonic generation. While tapered undulators are needed to reach TW powers at the fundamental, the taper does not enhance the harmonics because the taper must start before saturation of the fundamental, with the harmonics saturating earlier. Nevertheless, the harmonics reach substantial powers and enable enhanced applications. |
