The stringent energy spread requirement of the XFELO poses a challenge for its application in storage rings. One way to overcome this is by using a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) [1]. The TGU gain formula was discussed previously [2]. In this paper, we begin by reviewing the analytical 3D gain formula derived from the gain convolution formula. Following that, we apply numerical optimization to investigate the optimal beam and field parameters for maximal TGU gain. We found that a small emittance ratio (i.e. "flat beam" configuration) has a strong positive impact on TGU gain, as well as other patterns in the optimal parameters.

A well known discrepancy exists between 2D and 3D FEL simulation codes with respect to the radiation field intensity prior to the exponential gain regime [1]. This can be qualitatively explained by the fact that the 3D field representation preserves many more modes than does the axisymmetric field solved for by a 2D code. In this paper, we seek to develop an analytical model that quantifies this difference. We begin by expanding the spontaneous undulator radiation field as a multipole series, whose lowest order mode is axisymmetric. This allows us to calculate the difference in predicted intensity. Next, we confirm these results with numerical calculation and existing FEL codes GINGER and GENESIS. Finally, we discuss the implications of this study with respect to the XFELO two-bunch experiment to be conducted at LCLS-II.
