Effect of magnetic field tapering on whistler pumped free electron laser

An analytical formalism of whistler pumped free electron laser (FEL) with tapered magnetic field is developed. The tapering raises the efficiency of the device to 7% for typical parameters. The frequency and power of the FEL can be controlled by tuning the plasma density and/or magnetic field also b...
