Abstract
We present the first observation of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SA SE) in a free-electron laser (FEL) in the vacuum ultraviolet regime at 109 nm wavelength (11 eV). The observed free-electron laser gain (approximately 3000) and the radiation characteristics, such as dependency on bunch charg e, angular distribution, spectral width, and intensity fluctuations, are al l consistent with the present models for SASE FELs.
