Electrostatic Accelerator Free Electron Lasers.

Abstract

The present paper addresses the problem of increasing the power and efficiency of free electron lasers from a point of view which is fundamentally different from any known schemes. The schemes discussed here are based on the utilization electron lasers for commercial of laboratory applications. Three schemes will be discussed here: a) short pulse operation with no energy recovery, b) CW single-stage operation with energy recovery and c) CW two-stage operation with energy recovery. Also, a review is made of the electron beam quality required by the FEL.
