Preferred Label : free electron laser;
IUPAC definition : Source of coherent radiation in which the active medium is an electron beam moving
at speeds close to the speed of light in the spatially periodic magnetic field produced
by an array of magnets (the wiggler). The emitted wavelength, λ L, is approximately
given by \[\frac{\lambda _{\omega }}{4\ E {2}}\] with λ ω being the wiggler period
and E the electron's energy in MeV.;
