Synchrotron Radiation and Free-Electron Lasers: Principles of Coherent X-Ray Generation
TL;DR: In this paper, a wide range of topics are covered, including high-brightness synchrotron radiation from undulators, self-amplified spontaneous emission, seeded high-gain amplifiers with harmonic generation, ultra-short pulses, tapering for higher power, free-electron laser oscillators, and X-ray oscillator and amplifier configuration.

Mode competition and suppression in free electron laser oscillators
Thomas M. Antonsen,B. Levush +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of single-mode operation of free electron laser (FEL) oscillators is investigated and the results of the models in the low gain regime are compared and the parameter regimes where stable singlemode operation is possible are determined.

Tutorial on classical free electron laser theory
TL;DR: In this article, a simple theoretical approach to the free electron laser is reviewed and extensions of the Lorentz-Maxwell theory are straight forward and can be solved analytically, or on a small computer.

Sideband suppression in free-electron lasers with multiple synchrotron periods
D. Quimby,J. Slater,J. Wilcoxon +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the sideband instability of free-electron laser oscillators is studied for cases in which electrons undergo multiple synchrotron oscillations while traversing the wiggler.

TL;DR: In this paper, Cavity-length detuning is presented as an ideal technique, in most circumstances, to completely suppress sidebands in LAS, in which one can easily switch operating modes from that giving the highest efficiency (chaotic spiking) to that giving a narrowest spectral line (no sidebands).
