Free-Electron Lasers in Physics


Free-Electron Lasers in Physics

Dekorsy, T.

The topic of this chapter is a survey on the main applications of free-electron lasers (FELs) in physical sciences. The merits of FELs are discussed with respect to other available laser sources. For the wavelength ranges, where FELs contributed significantly to advances in physical sciences, specific examples of the research with FELs are given.

Keywords: free-electron lasers; applications of FELs; spectroscopy; time-resolved
