The cross section is 1016 times the Thomson cross section, confirming the result obtained by a previous analysis of the experimental data. A QWD calculation show that spontaneous emission in an FEL using only an electric wiggler can be very strong while amplification through net stimulated emission is practically negligible.展开更多

In the derivation, we apply quantum-wiggler electrodynamics （QWD）. We find that this scattering predominates the usual two-quantum scattering. The output power of spontaneous free-electron two-quantum Stark emission driven by the above electrostatic field attenuated by the three-quantum scattering agrees within a factor of 10 with the measured power in the case of the first FEL.展开更多

We formulate the threshold laser intensity for amplification which agrees with the measured value in the order of magnitude in the first FEL. The magnetic wiggler must produce an electric wiggler whose period is the same as that of the magnetic wiggler. We find that net stimulated free-electron two-quantum Stark （FETQS） emission driven by this electric wiggler is the mechanism responsible for the measured gain and the measured laser intensity at the plateau in the first FEL.展开更多
