A synchrotron radiation source emits coherent infrared (IR) when the electron bunch length is comparable to wavelength of emitted (see for example [1, 2]). To generate in far IR (THz) region, a 'low alpha mode' has been devised at ANKA storage ring operating 1.3 GeV. The corresponding lattice significantly reduced momentum compaction factor. spectral dependence recorded ANKA-IR beam line, where light produced fringe field bending magnet [3].
