OSTI ID:6977193
The multikiloampere peak currents available from linear induction accelerators make high-gain, free-electron laser amplifier configurations feasible. High extraction efficiencies in a single pass of the electron beam are possible if the wiggler parameters are appropriately ''tapered,'' as recently demonstrated at millimeter wavelengths on the 4-MeV ELF facility. Magnetic pulse power systems enable high-repetition-rate operation of the accelerator for high-average-power applications. Key issues involved in extending the technology to shorter wavelengths and higher average powers are described. 3 refs., 8 figs.
