High-gain microwave free electron laser amplifier experiments have bee
n performed at CAEP using the SG-1 device. For a small signal output p
ower of 50 kW in the super-radiation mode (i.e. starting from noise) a
nd nearly 19 dB/m exponential gain, 8 MW amplified microwave power hav
e been measured with an input power of 300 W. The experimental results
of the SG-1 device are compared with simulations provided by IAPCM's
3D code WAGFEL.
