W. van Amersfoort}, title = {Dynamic Behavior of the Em Field in Free-Electron Lasers}, abstract = {Several results of both numerical and analytical calculations of the laser field in a free electron laser (FEL) are presented. In order to interpret the results, a decomposition of the field into Gauss-Laguerre modes is made. Special attention is given to the development in time of these different modes at high and low electron beam currents.}, year = {1991}, journal = {Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research Section a-Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment}, volume = {304}, number = {1-3}, pages = {551-554}, month = {Jul 1}, isbn = {0168-9002}, doi = {10.1016/0168-9002(91)90928-j}, language = {eng}, }
