Mode growth and competition in the x-ray free-electron laser oscillator start-up from noise
We describe the radiation properties of an x-ray free-electron laser (FEL) oscillator, beginning with its start-up from noise through saturation. We first decompose the initially chaotic undulator radiation into the growing longitudinal modes of the composite system consisting of the electron beam,...
