  A free-electron laser (FEL) may be obtained by interaction of an electron bunch and a nearly copropagating laser pulse, where the laser pulse is sheared to extend the interaction length. When the angle between the electron beam axis and the propagation direction of the laser pulse greatly exceeds the reciprocal of the relativistic factor, the output radiation is nearly on the axis, and the FEL may be approximated by an axially aligned magnetostatic undulator. For a feasible laser-undulator FEL, we calculate gain using a one-dimensional model, as well as a three-dimensional model that includes degradation from diffraction and electron velocity spread.

The University of Wisconsin has completed fabrication and commissioning of a low frequency (199.6 MHz) superconducting electron gun based on a quarter wave resonator (QWR) cavity. Its concept was optimized to be the source for a CW free electron laser facility. The gun design includes active tuning and a high temperature superconducting solenoid. We will report on the status of the Wisconsin SRF electron gun program, including commissioning experience and first beam measurements.
