Short wavelength optics for future free electron lasers
Abstract
The study of free electron lasers for use on sufficient single pass gain is outlined, the availability of mirrors of high reflectance, however, for the vacuum ultraviolet and soft X-ray regime make resonant cavities a possibility. As in ordinary synchrotron radiation work, mirrors are required for the construction of realistic experiments and for beam manipulation purposes such as folding and extraction. A number of approaches to reflecting optics for free electron lasers, which are summarized.
