General method for analyzing three-dimensional effects in free-electron laser amplifiers

Free-electron laser (FEL) configurations in which the parameters of the electron beam vary along the undulator become relevant when considering new aspects of existing FELs or when exploring novel concepts. This paper describes a fully three-dimensional, analytical method suitable for studying such...
