Abstract
By ramping the energy of the electron beam on a microsecond timescale, a frequency chirp on a picosecond timescale has been induced. The res ults of such an experiment are discussed as well as the results of an external pulse chirping experiment. Furthermore, the output of FELIX u nder normal operating conditions is investigated. For the first time a detailed series of measurements of the evolution of the optical micro pulse into a train of subpulses is made when FELIX operates in the lim it-cycle mode.
