Prebunching is an effective technique to reduce the radiation saturation length and to improve the longitudinal coherence and output stability in storage-ring-based free-electron lasers (FELs). A novel technique is introduced which uses angular dispersion to enhance the high-harmonic bunching with very small laser-enabled energy spread. This technique can effectively reduce the radiation saturation length without significantly reducing the peak power of the FEL. Numerical simulations reveal that this technique can be used for the generation of 100 MW scale level, fully temporal coherent femtosecond extreme-ultraviolet and soft X-ray radiation pulses through a 10 m-long undulator based on a diffraction-limited storage ring.
