Abstract
Consideration is made of a free-electron laser with many optical cavit ies where the cavities communicate with each other, not optically, but through the electron beam. Numerical simulation results in the one-di mensional approximation, but including nonlinearities, are presented. The multi-cavity free-electron laser (MC/FEL) can be employed to avoid the slippage phenomena, and thus to make pico-second pulses of infrar ed radiation. Three examples of this application are presented.
