Abstract

A broad spectrum of unstable parasitic waves can arise from the interaction between the trapped electrons and the radiation generated by a free-electron laser. Imposing a dc electric field with appropriate strength at the onset of trapping can substantially narrow the unstable spectrum and allows considerable enhancement in the radiation intensity. The nonlinear mechanisms which limit the enhancement process are observed to be due to nonlinear frequency shift and detrapping.
