Superradiant amplification in a chirped-tapered x-ray free-electron laser

The chirp-taper free-electron laser (FEL) scheme has been proposed to generate subfemtosecond broadband pulses using laser-modulated electron bunches in x-ray FELs. In this paper, we extend the chirp-taper concept to the postsaturation superradiant regime by combining an energy-modulated beam with a...
