A novel method of operation for a transverse optical klystron (TOK) is proposed. The TOK is a device in which a relativistic electron beam produces tunable coherent radiation at short wavelengths by interacting with a powerful external laser and an undulator field. Here we show that by selecting the external laser wavelengths to be one of the harmonics in the undulator radiation spectrum, excellent output at short wavelength can be realized with significantly reduced performance requirements for the undulator magnet and the storage ring providing the electron beam.
