Abstract
A theoretical investigation is made on the electromagnetic field in a crossed-flute cavity. It is shown that the caustic of the held. which has a small transverse dimension at the cavity center. expands strongl y and assumes an annular shape on the mirrors. The cavity is relativel y short and can have a central hole, so that it can be used in high po wer free electron lasers.
