Dr. Bruce Carlsten is a senior research and development engineer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).

Academia

In 1985 Dr. Carlsten received his PhD from Stanford University following a BS from UCLA in 1979 as well as a US Particle Accelerator School Prize for Achievement in Accelerator Physics and Technology in 1999. He has been awarded a fellowship in both the American Physical Society and of the Los Alamos National Laboratory.[1]

In 2017 Dr. Carlsten was involved with the development of an X-ray free-electron laser. This is a very big machine producing electromagnetic radiation in the invisible X-ray spectrum, as ultra-short but ultra-bright pulses. The machine at Stanford University (LCLS) is partly a laser and partly a particle accelerator and is one of only two in the world.[2]

He teaches graduate-level credit courses on RF sources at the US Particle Accelerator School.[3] He is also a member of both the Executive Committee of the American Physical Society Division of Physics of Beams.[4] and the Advanced Accelerators Panel for the International Committee for Future Accelerators.[5]

Research

Dr. Carlston undertakes research on high-brightness electron beams and their applications in novel RF sources (specifically free-electron lasers (FELs)).[6]

Career

He was the leader of the High-Power Electrodynamics group at LANL From 2005 to 2012. In this role he oversaw this group's projects researching FELs, high-power and high-frequency microwave sources and effects, and accelerator components.[7]

Dr. Carlsten has constructed three research accelerator facilities. Over 100 of his peer reviewed papers have been published and he has six patents.[1] Presently he is serving as chief scientist for LANL’s Navy-funded Free Electron Laser oscillator project[8] and is director of design at this Laboratory’s future X-ray Free Electron Laser, the MaRIE (Matter-Radiation Interactions in Extremes) facility.[9]

In 2016 Dr. Carlsten was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) [10] for his contributions to the development of high-brightness electron beams and vacuum electron devices.

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., On September 6th 2017 Dr. Carlsten was awarded the 2017 Free-Electron Laser (FEL) Prize with fellow National Laboratory scientists Dinh Nguyen and Richard Sheffield at an international science conference which was hosted in Santa Fe, N.M., Los Alamos.[11]
