Question

Energy level diagram of "free electron" laser?

Answer 1

The diagram shows a schematic representation of a free electron laser. A free electron laser is a type of laser whose medium of lasing comprises of high-speed electrons which move freely through a magnetic structure. Free electron laser has the widest frequency range of any laser type ad is tunable which currently range in wavelength from microwaves, terahertz radiation and infrared to the ultraviolet, visible spectrum and X-ray.
