Theoretical Studies on Free Electron Lasers

Abstract

The subject of this investigation has been the Free Electron Laser (FEL), a device which is capable of converting the kinetic energy of a relativistic electron beam into coherent electromagnetic radiation. The investigation focused on two main topics: (1) The FEL operated as an oscillator and an amplifier using variable parameter wigglers. (2) The FEL oscillator operated in conjunction with a storage ring using gain-expanded and phase area displacement wigglers. A summary and details of progress for the period October 1, 1982 - September 30, 1983 are presented.
