Introduction

  • Chapter
Principles of Free-Electron Lasers

Abstract

In its fundamental concept, the free-electron laser is an extremely adaptable light source which can produce high-power coherent radiation across virtually the entire electromagnetic spectrum. In contrast, gas and solid-state lasers generate light at well-defined wavelengths corresponding to discrete energy transitions within atoms or molecules in the lasing media. Dye lasers are tunable over a narrow spectral range but require a gas laser for optical pumping and operate at relatively low power levels. Further, while conventional lasers typically are characterized by energy conversion efficiencies of only a few per cent, theoretical calculations indicate that the free-electron laser is capable of efficiencies as high as 65% while efficiencies of 40% have been demonstrated in the laboratory.
