A high-gain Quantum free-electron laser: emergence & exponential gain
arXiv:1905.10146 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.99.053823
Abstract
We derive an effective Dicke model in momentum space to describe collective effects in the quantum regime of a free-electron laser (FEL). The resulting exponential gain from a single passage of electrons allows the operation of a Quantum FEL in the high-gain mode and avoids the experimental challenges of an X-ray FEL oscillator. Moreover, we study the intensity fluctuations of the emitted radiation which turn out to be super-Poissonian.
