The solenoidal guide field of Raman free electron lasers can be tuned
to resonantly enhance a desired harmonic component of the electron qui
ver velocity. The feasibility of a harmonic FEL based on this effect i
s investigated. Computer simulations demonstrate that the gain and eff
iciency of the second harmonic generation can be comparable to that of
the fundamental generation.
