The particle beam physics laboratory (PBPL) at UCLA is constructing a short period FEL which will operate in the high gain regime. The focus of the work has been the production of a high brightness electron beam suitable for short wavelength FELs. Once operational the FEL will be used to study phenomena of significance to short wavelength devices such as SASE and performance sensitivity to various beam parameters. Future studies may include the addition of a second undulator or amplification of an input source (CO/sub 2/ laser) to study saturation, superradiance, and optical guiding. (11 References).
