An X-band 4th harmonic RF section is used to lin earize the bunch compression process in the Linac Coherent Light Source (1). The optimum voltage is calculated to compensate both for the second-order RF time-curvature, and for the second-order momentum compaction terms. This compensated compression retains, to a much higher degree, the initial temporal distribution of the bunch, reducing the effects of coherent synchrotron radiation (2), and also reduces the sensitiv ity of the final compression to bunch arrival time variations.
