Elias, L R

Results are presented of a three-dimensional numerical analysis of the radiation fields produced in a free-electron laser. The method used here to obtain the spatial and temporal behavior of the radiated fields is based on the coherent superposition of the radiated fields is based on the coherent superposition of the exact Lienard-Wiechert fields produced by each electron in the beam. Interference effects are responsible for the narrow angular radiation patterns obtained and for the high degree of monochromaticity of the radiated fields.
