Evidence for competition modes in a partially guided far-infrared free-electron laser

The infrared free-electron laser (FEL) offers a large tunability since the FEL gain remains high throughout the infrared spectral range, and the reflectivity of metal mirrors remains also close to unity. The main limitation comes from the diffraction of the optical beam due to the finite size of the...
