The free electron laser (FEL) shows potential as a source of coherent, high average power radiation. The achievement of high average power is one of the main topics of current FEL research. This thesis examines the Boeing Average Power Laser Experiment (APLE), whose main goal is to demonstrate the FEL's high average power capability for the first time. The experiment is in the design stage, with completion scheduled for 1996. http://archive.org/details/theoryforhighpow1094523786 Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. |
