Photon Frequency in Lab Expect a “blue” shift since waves get pushed together as beam is moving toward observer Use fact that energy of photon is hf, momentum is hf/c J. J. Bisognano
Undulator Spectrum Since train is of finite length (N cycles), there is a width to spectrum, but it is very narrow, order 1/N If one includes that motion is really not perfectly sinusoidal (remember the figure 8 and energy modulation) but that it does repeat in time, there is harmonic generation J. J. Bisognano

Physics of FELs • An electron beam moving on a linear trajectory will have no net energy coupling to a co-moving E&M wave, just “jiggled” • In a wiggler (really undulator), an electron beam develops a transverse oscillation, as we’ve just seen • If the oscillation stays in phase with the fields, there can be a net exchange of beam energy to the wave; i.e., the electron beam acts to amplify the electromagnetic wave J. J. Bisognano
Oscillators and SASEs • If one puts beam/wiggler into optical resonantor, there is a feedback loop that generates an oscillator and a laser • If the wiggler is long enough, the energy modulation of the electron beam can generate “microbunches” which can radiate coherently, generation self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) from the Schottky noise on the beam, lasing without mirrors from a beam instability • Or one can “seed” the beam with an energy modulation induced by an external laser • Sources are tunable (beam energy or wiggler field) and coherent J.

High Gain Regime So far, we haven’t included how the increasing electromagnetic wave affects the continued electron motion Also, there is a density variation developing Also, at high enough frequencies there are no good mirrors to make an optical resonator “High Gain” regime, really an instability saves the day, and points to X-ray lasers J. J. Bisognano
Basic Principle: Coherent Synchrotron Radiation If we can get “microbunching” of electron beam, strong enhancement over incoherent synchrotron radiation J. J. Bisognano
High Gain FEL to the Rescue: Basic Feedback Loop • Electron beam responds to co-traveling electromagnetic wave in a wiggler/undulator • Electrons radiate by stimulated emission in wiggler • Electrons move relative to each other: density variations at wavelength of radiation • Density variations radiate coherently in wiggler/undulator • Electromagnetic field is enhanced, with changes to both its amplitude and phase • Electron move relative to each other in response to to co-traveling electromagnetic other: density variations grow at wavelength of radiation • Genuine instability with exponential growth of both the density variation and the electromagnetic radiation J. J. Bisognano
Further Details • Can send beam through a dispersive compressor where the microbunching through energy variation is enhanced, “optical klystron” • Generates higher harmonics • Since Schottky (shot) noise is “noisy,” can instead seed with laser J. J. Bisognano
