Generalized gain-spread expressions for the free electron laser Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Starting from a many electron hamiltonian model we derive general expressions for the unsaturated gain and spread of a free electron laser that are valid for arbitrary magnetic field configurations. The general validity of a well known gain-spread relation is demonstrated. 1980.
