Abstract
In the strong-slippage regime of a free-electron laser, the optical pu lse inside the resonator is composed of a series of subsequently growi ng and decaying subpulses due to a limit-cycle oscillation. The picose cond time structure of the outcoupled pulses can be quite different fr om that of the intracavity pulse, in case of outcoupling through a hol e and for specific resonator parameters, This is demonstrated by autoc orrelation measurements and corroborated by simulations.
