Abstract

The operation of a free-electron laser (FEL) with electromagnetic wave wiggler in the presence of an ion-channel guiding as well as an axial guide magnetic field is considered and compared. Theoretical studies of electron trajectories and dispersion relations in a combined ion electrostatic field as well as large-amplitude backward-propagating electromagnetic waves are analyzed. The large-amplitude wave acts like a magnetostatic wiggler in a FEL. The results of a numerical study are presented and discussed. It is shown that in the wiggler pumped ion-channel free-electron laser (WPIC-FEL), electron orbits and dispersion relation are time-dependent, and over time, electron orbits while oscillating bear a periodic motion.
