Free-electron Laser
A free-electron laser (FEL) is a fourth generation light source producing extremely brilliant and short pulses of radiation. An FEL functions much as a laser but employs relativistic electrons as a active laser medium, gain medium instead of using Laser, stimulated emission from atomic or molecular excitations. In an FEL, a ''bunch'' of electrons passes through a magnetic structure called an undulator or Wiggler (synchrotron), wiggler to generate radiation, which re-interacts with the electrons to make them emit coherently, exponentially increasing its intensity. As electron kinetic energy and undulator parameters can be adapted as desired, free-electron lasers are tunable laser, tunable and can be built for a wider frequency range than any other type of laser, currently ranging in wavelength from microwaves, through terahertz radiation and infrared, to the visible spectrum, ultraviolet, and X-ray. The first free-electron laser was developed by John Madey in 1971 at Stanford Uni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Created by the National Defense Research Committee, Felix relied on infrared to detect and home on heat-emitting targets in clear weather;Ordway and Wakeford 1960, p.124. blast furnaces were considered a particularly practical target for such a weapon, as were the reflective metal roofs of factory buildings.
