Analysis of statistical correlations and intensity spiking in the self-amplified spontaneous-emission free-electron laser

The narrow band chaotic output of the self-amplified spontaneous-emission free-electron laser exhibits intensity spikes. In the linear regime before saturation, we use an approach developed by Rice to determine probability distributions for the peak values of intensity in both the time and frequency...
