Abstract
This paper reconsiders theory of pulse propagation in free electron lasers operating with arbitrary gain. It shows that the dynamics can be accounted for by collective longitudinal excitations of super mode type and discusses their properties. A study is made of the inter-play between the optical packet longitudinal dimension and electron beam energy spread, along with the induced gain depression. Semi-analytical formulas for the gain, pulse length, etc., are finally presented.
