Popis: We describe the first master oscillator/power amplifier experiment in which both the master oscillator and power amplifier are free-electron-laser devices driven by time-sharing an electron beam from a single radiofrequency linear accelerator. The optimized, small-signal gain spectrum realized in the untapered power amplifier is presented. Up to 60% gain was observed at 3 μ with an estimated peak current of 35 A. Additional Q-switched experiments are also discussed.
