Title: Simple model for the nonlinear radiation field of a free electron laser

Abstract

It is shown that Jacobi elliptic function solutions of the nonlinear Duffing equation model the radiation field in a high-gain free electron laser through early saturation. After initial start-up, the field can be expressed equivalently with a hyperbolic secant. The model is derived for arbitrary detuning from resonance, which enables study of the spectral properties in the early nonlinear regime.
