Abstract

Computed electron trajectories in a free electron laser show significant emittance growth in the wiggle plane when there are wiggler field gradients. For a low gain free electron laser using a focusing planar wiggler, phase space plots show the development of this 3-dimensional effect as well as rotation of the phase space region occupied by the beam due to betatron oscillations in the focusing wiggler field. Matching the input electron beam to the wiggler eliminates emittance growth.
