Principles behind a free-electron laser (FEL) will be explained in terms of simple physics. Characteristics of several varieties of FEL devices–amplifier, oscillator, and harmonic generator–will be delineated. The high-performance frontier in short wavelength, time resolution, and coherence will be discussed. Wild speculation for the future will be entertained.
