Free electron laser oscillators with tapered undulators: Inclusion of harmonic generation and pulse propagation

We review the theory of free-electron laser (FEL) oscillators operating with tapered undulators. We have considered the case of a uniform tapering and introduced a parameter which characterizes the effect of the tapering on the gain and the saturation intensity. We have analyzed the effect of the ta...
