Abstract
A partial differential equation for the probability amplitude in the spherical phase space is derived to describe the nonlinear evolution of a free-electron laser in the Compton regime. A perturbative solution up to an indefinite high order of the electron quantum recoil is obtained. It is used to calculate the laser output, in terms of average photon number, as a function of the wiggler length.
