Free Electron Laser Project.
Abstract
Progress attained during the period between 1 October 1972 and 30 September 1974 on the Free Electron Laser Program is reported. The program entails evaluating the feasibility of a new technique for laser excitation leading to tunable, very high-powered lasers at frequency ranges between far infrared and soft x-ray. The technique involves a relativistic electron beam traveling through a transverse, static spatially periodic, magnetic field. The electron beam is supplied by the Stanford Superconducting Linear Accelerator. This report includes a general description of the program, a summary of the scientific background, descriptions of experimental facilities, results to date, and future research plans.
