Significant improvement was observed in the performance of the Boeing/LANL Free-Electron Laser (FEL) experiment in the last year. Some of the more graphic demonstrations of this improved performance are presented in the time-resolved optical spectral measurements (streak/spectrometer) and the electron beam spectral measurements. Extraction efficiency of about 1/4% for the uniform wiggler and nearly 1% for the tapered wiggler experiment was obtained. 7 refs., 16 figs., 2 tabs.
