Small-signal theory of a grating-based free-electron laser in three dimensions
We present an analytic theory for the small-signal operation of a grating-based free-electron laser that includes the effects of transverse diffraction on the evanescent wave. In this device, the electron beam interacts with an evanescent wave of the grating that bunches the beam and creates superra...
