Description
Operation principle of a laser and an oscillator are recalled together with the klystron one. In the free electron laser, electrons go through an undulator or an optical klystron. Principles of the last one are given. The two distinct ways of producing coherent radiation with an undulator and an optical klystron are presented. The first one is the use of the free electron laser, the second is to make use of the spontaneous emission generation (harmonics generation). The different current types of free electron lasers are presented (Stanford, Los Alamos, Aco at Orsay). Prospects and applications are given in conclusion
Abstract (French)
Le principe du fonctionnement du laser et de l'oscillateur sont rappeles ainsi que celui du klystron. Dans le laser a electrons libres, les electrons passent a travers un onduleur ou un klystron optique. Leurs principes de fonctionnement sont identiques, celui du klystron optique est donne. Les 2 facons distinctes de produire du rayonnement coherent avec un onduleur ou un klystron optique sont presentees. La premiere est d'utiliser le laser a electrons libres, la seconde est de mettre a profit la generation d'emission spontanee coherente (generation d'harmoniques). Les differents types de lasers a electrons existant actuellement (Stanford, Los Alamos, Aco a Orsay) sont presentes. Enfin projets et applications sont rappeles en conclusionAdditional details
