Index of refraction of a free-electron-laser beam

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
The index of refraction of a free-electron-laser (FEL) pulse is derived directly, independently of the general FEL analysis, by considering the propagation of an electromagnetic wave along an electron beam that is penetrated by a static magnetic field.
