Relativistic gyrotrons and cyclotron autoresonance masers
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the eyelotron auto-resonance maser is the most effective free electron laser (Doppertron) at milimetere and submillimetre wavelengths.

First Operation of a Free-Electron Laser
David A. G. Deacon,Luis R. Elias,John M. J. Madey,G. J. Ramian,H.A. Schwettman,Todd I. Smith +5 more
TL;DR: A free-electron laser oscillator has been operated above threshold at a wavelength of 3.4 µm as discussed by the authors, where µm is the number of free electrons in a single photon.

On the theory of electromagnetic radiation of charged particles in a crystal
TL;DR: In this paper, it is predicted that there can be a new type of radiation of relativistic channeled particles, and a possibility of using this radiation in physics is indicated, in particular for creating a nuclear γ laser.

Journal ArticleDOI
Classical theory of a free-electron laser
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a completely classical analysis of the small-signal regime of a free-electron laser and show that the amplification is due to stimulated scattering produced by a bunching of the electron distribution.

The free electron laser - A single-particle classical model
A. Bambini,A. Renieri +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that when a large number of photons are present in the final mode of the electromagnetic field, the cross section for the emission in that mode is greatly enhanced (by a factor n).
