Free-electron laser (FEL)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the accelerator-physics subtree

Relativistic electrons wiggled through a periodic magnetic undulator radiate coherently when the SASE (self-amplified spontaneous emission) instability develops over a gain length L_g. Produces X-ray pulses with peak brightness >10⁹ ×…
