Abstract:

A free electron laser using an intense relativistic electron beam in a rippled magnetic field has been operated in the stimulated Raman scattering regime to yield megawatt-level radiation at submillimeter wavelengths line-narrowing to Delta lambdalambda approximately 2 is reported. Author
