Free-electron lasers in the ultraviolet and x-ray regime : physical principles, experimental results, technical realization / Peter Schmüser, Martin Dohlus, Jörg Rossbach, Christopher Behrens.

The main goal of the book is to provide a systematic and didactic approach to the physics and technology of free-electron lasers. Numerous figures are used for illustrating the underlying ideas and concepts, and links to other fields of physics are provided. After an introduction to undulator radiat...
