Free electron lasers
Abstract
Further support of the LANL experiment and the strong-field synchrotron instability has used the periodic window for optical mode analysis. Using the LANL parameters current and magnetic field strength, the effect of the resonator on mode stability was examined. It was found that as much as 20% loss/pass was necessary for the FEL to run without sidebands. When the losses were dropped to 14% pass, a single sideband appeared in the untapered FEL planned at LANL. When the losses were lowered to 1% (as eventually planned), the optical field became chaotic and the FEL went broad band.
