@article{5796, author = {L . Y. Lin and A. F. G. van der Meer}, title = {Design of a short-pulse, far-infrared free electron laser with a highly overmoded waveguide}, abstract = {We report the design of a long wavelength extension to the free electron laser for infrared experiments. A parallel plate is inserted in the resonator to reduce diffraction losses. It will be shown that with a 10 mm gap waveguide, single transverse mode operation can be expected over a wavelength range from 300 down to 40 mu m, allowing pulses as short as a few optical cycles to be produced.
