Abstract
A high average power free electron laser (HAPFEL) architecture supporting multiple gain generator configurations with multiple synchronized output beams. The HAPFEL generates straight-line counter-propagating electron beams. Multiple RF electron guns and Superconducting Dual-axis Energy Recovery Linacs (SDERLs) define a fixed physical configuration for generating the counter-propagating electron beams and for recovering electron beam energy. A gain generator may be reconfigured into different configurations without physically reconfiguring the hardware supporting the counter-propagating electron beams.
