High-power free-electron laser amplifier using a scalloped electron beam and a two-stage wiggler

High-power free-electron laser (FEL) amplifiers present many practical design and construction problems. One such problem is possible damage to any optical beam control elements beyond the wiggler. The ability to increase the optical beam’s divergence angle after the wiggler, thereby reducing the in...
