The free electron laser

C. R. Pidgeon, W J Firth

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Free electron lasers represent a radical alternative to conventional lasers, being potentially the most flexible, high power and efficient generators of tunable coherent radiation from the ultra-violet to the infrared. We give a simple review of the physics of the device, describe the present experimental situation and discuss possible applications. © 1984.
