Title: Harmonic generation in the free-electron laser. Theory of the Quasiperiodic wiggler

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)

Free-electron lasers, except for those using helical wigglers, are predicted in most cases to generate higher harmonics of the fundamental optical frequency. The basic equations describing this process are derived and applied in particular to the linearly polarized wiggler.
