Hermite-Gaussian decomposition of free electron laser optical fields

Free electron lasers (FELs) are favored in many research applications due to their ability to operate primarily in the fundamental (Gaussian) mode. In oscillator FELs, the appropriate basis set for decomposition is uniquely determined by the cavity parameters. Since FEL amplifiers generate and ampli...
