Abstract

Dispersion equation of planar-wiggler free-electron laser with background plasma is derived using linear fluid theory. The characteristic of this plasma FEL is analyzed in detail. It is shown that reasonable background plasma density tends to improve FEL growth rate. We also find there exits a critical plasma density for FEL operating. When the background plasma density is higher than critical density, the FEL can no longer be excited.
