Abstract
A survey of electron beam devices as tunable coherent sources has been made. This survey consists of four parts. In the first section, physics of the interaction between free electron and free photon is studied. According to the condition to obtain energy- and momentum-conservations in the interaction, electron beam devices are classified into four groups. In the following three sections, fundamental operational principles and the present states of the arts of undulator type free electron devices, grating type devices (ledatron), and spiraling electron type devices will be presented.
