Laser-pumped coherent x-ray free-electron laser
In a laser-pumped x-ray free-electron laser (FEL) an intense laser field replaces the magnetic wiggler field of a conventional FEL. Depending on the intensity and quality of both the electron beam and pump laser, the Thomson backscattered radiation can be coherently amplified. In a conventional FEL...
