Vinokurov The Novosibirsk free electron laser is the first multi-turn energy-recovery linear accelerator with three separate laser systems (the terahertz, far-infrared and mid-infrared ones). The facility is well equipped with optical elements and instrumentation available to Russian and foreign users. In this paper, we describe in brief the workstations of the facility and survey selected recent experiments using intense monochromatic terahertz laser radiation, which can be tuned from 90 to 240 μm.
