文摘The ability to generate stable and coherent short wavelength radiation is a great promise of the externally seeded free-electron laser. However, the fre- quency up-conversion efficiency is limited to a small number in a single stage setup.

Electron beams with quite different proper- ties are separately used in each stage and a monochromator is adopted to purify the radiation from first stage for seeding the second stage.
