Development of High-Brightness Electron Sources for Free-Electron Lasers

The primary purpose of this thesis is to detail recent progress in the development of high-brightness cathodes for use in beam driven radiation sources. In particular, diamond field-emitter arrays (DFEA) are discussed and their application to conventional free-electron lasers is considered. Topics c...
