Description

<p>A free electron laser (FEL) is a prospective X-ray coherent light source. A self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE)-type FEL, which produces intense X-ray pulses by single-pass amplification in a high-gain medium, has recently been realized, about 50 years after the invention of the laser. In this article, after a brief summary of the principle of FEL emission, the present status of SASE-FEL developments in Europe, USA, and Japan is reported together with future plans for achieving an X-ray FEL with high temporal coherence. Future X-ray experiments using SASE-FEL are also discussed.</p>
