Zusammenfassung / Abstract

For decades free-electron lasers have served as a coherent light source with a widely tunable wavelength. Due to substantial progress in the fields of accelerator and laser physics a new operating regime comes within reach where quantum mechanics crucially affects the dynamics of the system.

This book provides a comprehensive approach towards the so-called quantum free-electron laser describing its basic properties and the fundamental requirements for experimental realizations of such devices.
