Abstract
A solution has been proposed about ten years ago to reach the X-ray ra nge: the principle is to operate the FEL in the Self-Amplified Spontan eous Emission (SASE) configuration. In the high gain regime, the spont aneous emission is amplified along the undulator in a single pass conf iguration and without optical cavity. We report here the observation o f SASE at the shortest wavelength the mid-infrared range. A spectral a nalysis of the SASE has been carried-out in the start-up regime of SAS E, far from the saturation level.
