Longitudinal mode multistability in Ring and Fabry-Pérot lasers: the effect of spatial hole burning.

We theoretically discuss the impact of the cavity configuration on the possible longitudinal mode multistability in homogeneously broadened lasers. Our analysis is based on the most general form of a Travelling-Wave Model for which we present a method that allows us to evaluate the monochromatic solutions as well as their eigenvalue spectrum. We find, in agreement with recent experimental repor...

Single-pass High-gain Free Electron Laser Electron Beam Diagnostics

Consensus reached in the last few years that fourth generation light source will most likely be a X-ray or a UV coherent source based on single-pass high-gain free electron laser (FEL), such as Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission (SASE), or seeded high-gain harmonic -generation (HGHG) free electron lasers. High -gain (> 10) required for single-pass FEL puts great constrain on the quality of ele...
