Free-electron lasers
Abstract
The principles underlying the operation of free-electron lasers are reviewed, with attention given to resonance between the radiation field and the electrons, spontaneous emission, and amplification processes. Experimental results on free-electron lasers are presented, and attention is given to free-electron lasers emitting in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet ranges.
