At the time that we determined to start paintings in this booklet, numerous different volumes at the free-electron laser had both been released or have been in press. The earliest paintings of which we have been acutely aware was once released in 1985 by way of Dr T. C. Marshall of Columbia collage [1]. This ebook handled the whole diversity of study on free-electron lasers, together with an outline of the extant experiments. besides the fact that, the sphere has matured very much on account that that point and, in our judgement, the time used to be ripe for a extra wide paintings together with the latest advances within the box. the elemental paintings during this box has mostly been approached from specified and, regrettably, separate viewpoints. at the one hand, free-electron lasers at sub-millimetre and longer wavelengths pushed via low-energy and high-current electron beams were pursued via the plasma physics and microwave tube groups. This paintings has limited itself principally to the high-gain regimes within which collective results may well play an immense function. nevertheless, short-wavelength free-electron lasers within the infrared and optical regimes were pursued via the accelerator and laser physics group. a result of high-energy and low-current electron beams applicable to this spectral diversity, those experiments have operated principally within the low-gain single-particle regimes. the latest books released at the free-electron laser through Dr C. A.

Another important direction for future research is the design of short period wigglers which permit short wavelength operation with relatively low voltage electron beams. An alternate approach to the production of short wavelength radiation with moderate energy electron beams is the use of higher harmonic interactions. e. 8 Jim [141J, and (2) at a wavelength of 4 Jim at Los Alamos National Laboratory [47]. The reduction in the voltage J3. 28 Introduction requirement has important practical implications in the simplification of accelerator design problems and the reduction in the production of secondary X-rays and neutrons.
