Isolated few-cycle radiation from chirped-pulse compression of a superradiant free-electron laser
When a short electron bunch traverses an undulator to radiate a wavelength longer than the bunch length, intense superradiance from the electron bunch can quickly deplete the electron’s kinetic energy and lead to generation of an isolated chirped radiation pulse. Here, we develop a theory to describ...
