Nonlinear Study on FEM Amplifier with a Novel Elliptic-Groove Guide

FEM amplifier with a novel elliptic-groove guide is proposed and three-dimensional nonlinear theory for the elliptic-groove guide FEM amplifier is developed. A set of coupled nonlinear differential equations is derived and the characteristics of this FEM amplifier are numerically analyzed in detail including the evolution of power, efficiency and bandwidth. The effects on saturation efficiency due to electron momentum spread and wiggler taper are also studied.
