Atomic Laser Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation Spontaneous Emission Stimulated Emission
Properties of Stimulated Emission The photon which is emitted in the stimulated emission process is identical to the incoming photon. They both have: 1. Identical wavelengths - Monochromaticity. 2. Identical directions in space - Directionality. 3. Identical phase - Coherence.
Atomic Laser 1. Well known and proven technology. 2. One Laser One Color. 3. Limited by Mirrors ==> No X rays.

Peak power of accelerated charge: different electrons radiate indepedently hence the total power depends linearly on the number Ne of electrons per bunch: Incoherent Spontaneous Radiation Power: Coherent Stimulated Radiation Power: WE NEED micro-BUNCHING !
High Gain FEL Consider“seeding”by an external light source with wavelength r The light wave is co-propagating with the relativistic electron beam Energy exchangeoccurs only if there is transverse motion
After one wiggler period the electron sees the radiation with the same phase if the flight time delay is exactly one radiation period: In a resonant and randomly phased electron beam, nearly one half electrons absorb energy and half lose enrgy, with no net gain The particles bunch around a phase for which there is no coupling with the radiation
NewtonLorentz Equations t>0 l /2 t=0 Maxwell Equations Optical potential Question: can there be a continuous energy transfer from electron beam to light wave? Answer: We need a Self Consistent Treatment
The electron beam acts as a dielectric medium which slows down the phase velocity of the ponderomotive field compared to the average electron longitudinal velocity. Hence resonant electrons bunch around a phase corresponding to gain. The particles within a micro-bunch radiate coherently. The resulting strong radiationfield enhances the micro-bunching even further. Result: collective instability, exponential growth of radiation power. Even if there is no external seeding: Self Amplified Spontaneous Emission
