Comparison of free-electron laser amplifiers based on a step-tapered optical klystron and a conventional tapered wiggler

Free-electron laser amplifiers have been operated at high efficiency at wavelengths from the microwave through the visible. Typically, these amplifiers require long tapered sections and produce spent beams with large energy spreads that are 4–5 times the electronic efficiency. In addition, while opt...
