Description

The coherent transition radiation (CTR) is generated from the high-energy electron beams of an electron linear accelerator (linac) and is used as the intense light source in a submillimeter to millimeter wavelength range. The CTR light source for absorption spectroscopy established by using an L-band electron linac in Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute has been used for various kinds of materials. In the present work this light source is applied to investigating the biological effects of the CTR light. The characteristics of the light source such as the pico-second light pulse, the intensity and the spectrum were evaluated from the results for the measurements. The results for the preliminary irradiation experiments for several kinds of bacillus, cell and microorganism are reported. (author)
