Abstract

We observed significant improvement in the performance of the Boeing/LANL free-electron laser (FEL) experiment in the last year. Some of the more graphic demonstrations of this improved performance are presented in the time-resolved optical spectral measurements (streak/spectrometer) and the electron-beam spectral measurements. We have observed an extraction efficiency of about 14% for the uniform wiggler and nearly 1% for the tapered-wiggler experiment. We also present experimental evidence consistent with a sideband instability and its suppression by cavity-length detuning.
