Abstract

The nonlinear interactions between the electron and the electric field component of TM modes in waveguide free electron lasers (FELs) are studied. Since the space charge effects are negligible for these low power waveguide FELs, the electron interactions with TM modes are simulated in the Compton regime. It is shown that a previously ignored nonresonant term in the energy conservation equation could be significant in the FEL interaction, and under certain operation conditions, its contribution may be adjusted to enhance the interaction gain.
