Abstract: | A self-consistent analytic expression for the complex gain of a free-electron laser is obtained on the basis of the single-particle equations with realistic boundary conditions. The results are presented in the form of amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics of a free-electron laser.New-Accelerator Problems Laboratory, Lebedev Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
