In order to produce MeV photons (γ-ray) by the laser Compton scattering (LCS), a high power optically pumped far infrared (FIR) laser has been developed at SPring-8. We obtained about 1.6 W of maximum output power of FIR laser at CH3OH 119 μm lasing line pumped by 9P(36) branch line of CO2 laser. In case of the SPring8 storage ring, the momentum acceptance is so large (± 200 MeV) that the Compton scattered electron is reaccelerated. Therefore, the stored beam is not lost by the LCS process. The beam diagnostics beamline I (BL38B2) is used to inject a FIR laser beam against 8 GeV stored electron beam and to extract MeV photons produced by LCS. The FIR laser system, MeV photons production system, and measured MeV photons spectrum will be presented. Production rate of MeV photons by LCS was estimated to be the order of 10 3 photons/sec with 890 mW output power of FIR laser. Future plans will also be introduced. In order to produce higher intense MeV photons, we are constructing a new MeV photons production system at another beam diagnostics beamline (BL05SS).
