| abstract: | The author reviews the main physics issues and the scaling laws for short wavelength free electron lasers. The author discusses the two main operating modes, oscillator and self amplified spontaneous emission. The author also compares different electron beam drivers, like RF linacs and storage rings. The favourable scaling laws and the recent progress in FELs physics and technology show that the FEL is a good candidate for a tunable soft-X-ray laser. (38 References). |
