F. Ciocci et al., DESIGN ELEMENTS OF A HIGH-POWER VUV FREE-ELECTRON LASER, Nuovo cimento della Società Italiana di Fisica. A. Nuclei, particles and fields, 106(12), 1993, pp. 1757-1763
We explore the feasibility of a high-power FEL operating in the VUV an
d configured as a coupled oscillator-tripler. The dynamical behaviour
of the system and the dependence of the output power on the characteri
stics of the e-beam are analysed along with the parameters of the osci
llator. Finally, the possibility of enhancing the output power by mean
s of appropriate tapering of the second undulator is discussed.
