Abstract
Coherence between successive light pulses from an rf-linac based FEL can be induced by means of an intracavity interferometric element such as an etalon. This considerably reduces the number of active cavity modes and facilitates the selection of a single narrow line from the laser output. Computer simulations for the operation of an etalon in the FELIX design are shown. The model based on the wave equation driven by single particles has been applied in simulations using a small number (up to six) of initially independent pulses. The case with 40 separate pulses in the cavity is treated with a simpler model. The simulations show that a low-finesse etalon suffices to obtain a large degree of coherence between successive pulses. Saturated operation in a reduced number of modes, but with the same total power, is attained with a delay of a few microseconds.
