Preface
It has been more than two decades since the publication of the second edition of Principles of Free-Electron Lasers, and it has become increasingly clear that both experimental and theoretical developments in the field have progressed far beyond the content of that prior edition. As a result, we judged it to be important to prepare a third edition to bring the material up to date. It is our intention in this regard to provide a comprehensive description of the present understanding of the principles, theory, and simulation techniques of the free-electron laser that can be used both as a reference work and a handbook. To that end, extensive derivations are given for the spontaneous emission, the single-particle orbits, and both the linear and nonlinear formulations of the interaction as a resource for the student or the experienced researcher in the field. However, we also provide useful formulae that can be used as a starting point in the design and
