Photon statistical properties of an optical-wiggler free-electron laser. Technical report No. 38, 1 October 1984-30 September 1985

;
The Free Electron Laser Hamiltonian is used to study the statistical properties of the photons emitted in a scattering process between a coherent electromagnetic wave (optical wiggler) and a counter-propagating relativistic electron beam. It is shown that the probability distribution of exchanged photons is binomal and that coherent states are preserved by the Free Electron Laser interaction only in the absence of gain.
