“…At the present time, 10 FEL user facilities are in operation for a wide range of applications in materials and bio-medical research as well as a large number of dedicated FELs (for a listing see [91] for short wavelength FELs and [92] for long wavelength systems). While it is always hazardous to try to predict the future course of scientific research, we feel confident that two general areas of research will comprise important elements of future study.…”

Vacuum electronic sources have shown marked improvement since the invention of the magnetron before World War II, and dramatic increases in both average powers and frequencies have been achieved. Of course, much of these gains have been achieved by the development of different devices. The typical development pattern for a given device exhibits an initial period of rapid improvement followed by a plateau determined by technological or physical limitations on the concept. Slow wave devices such as magnetrons and/or klystrons operate efficiently at frequencies up through X-band or he source of the relation ed cavity traveling wave tubes are used for various applications at frequencies ranging up through W-band. At still higher frequencies fast wave devices such as gyrotrons and free-electron lasers are required are required for high power operation.The free-electron laser concept is unique in that the mechanism is applicable across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and free-electron lasers have been built at wavelengths from microwaves through the ultraviolet, and plans are under development for X-ray systems. Our purpose of this paper is to describe the principal directions of free-electron laser research at the present time. To this end, we first give a brief tutorial of the physics underlying the concept, and then describe the principal development paths under way.

The energy conversion efficiency and the damage threshold of a CsLiB6O10 crystal have been measured for a pulse train with 80 pulses at 532 nm, each with energy up to 200 μJ, 14 ps duration and 25 ns pulse to pulse spacing. Maximum energy conversion efficiency of 38% has been measured when the crystal was used to convert 532 nm to 266 nm. The damage threshold of the crystal for this pulse train was measured to be >130 and <520 GW/cm2. Both the high intensity of the micropulse and the fluence of the macropulse appear to affect the damage threshold.
