Abstract
The radiation source ELBE atDresden-Rossendorf is centered around asuperconducting ELectron accelerator ofhigh Brilliance and low Emittance (ELBE) which produces electronbeams up to 40 MeV. This new facility delivers secondary radiation of differentkinds. Special emphasis will be given tothe production of intense THz radiationfrom its Free-Electron Lasers (FEL). This radiation will be usedfor various research activities including the life sciences. Two additionalfemtosecond Ti:sapphire laser systems allowto exploit different methods of THzgeneration for such investigations.
Keywords: Dynamics in biomolecules, free-electron laser, IR-beam diagnostic, THz-radiation
