Wavelength modulation in free electron lasers

The optical wavelength of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) is dependent on the input electron beam energy. So, as the energy of this beam varies, the optical wavelength from the laser will vary as well. In many applications, this effect may be unwanted and in others it may be desirable. At the Stanford U...
