Statistical theory of high-gain free-electron laser saturation.
We propose an approach, based on statistical mechanics, to predict the saturated state of a single-pass, high-gain free-electron laser. In analogy with the violent relaxation process in self-gravitating systems and in the Euler equation of two-dimensional turbulence, the initial relaxation of the laser can be described by the statistical mechanics of an associated Vlasov equation. The laser fie...
متن کاملPerturbation Expansion for High-Gain Free-Electron Laser Saturation*
We develop a perturbation expansion for the solution of the nonlinear one-dimensional free-electron laser equations. For a monochromatic wave, the radiation field is expanded in a Taylor series having a finite radius of convergence. Analytic continuation using Pade′ approximates yields accurate results well into the saturation regime. We also formulate the perturbation expansion for finite band...
متن کاملHigh-gain Harmonic-generation Free-electron Laser
A high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser is demonstrated. Our approach uses a laser-seeded free-electron laser to produce amplified, longitudinally coherent, Fourier transform-limited output at a harmonic of the seed laser. A seed carbon dioxide laser at a wavelength of 10.6 micrometers produced saturated, amplified free-etectron laser output at the second-harmonic wavelength, 5.3 mi...

متن کاملAnalysis of the first high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser at saturation
We report results from characterization of the output of a high-gain harmonic-generation (HGHG) free-electron laser (FEL). A CO2 seed laser at a wavelength of 10.6 μm is amplified and frequencydoubled in the FEL to produce 5.3-μm output. The wavelength spectrum, pulse duration, and correlation length of the output verify that the light is longitudinally coherent. Comparisons of the measured ele...
