Abstract
The free electron laser (FEL) shows potential as a source
of coherent, high average power radiation. The achievement of
high average power is one of the main topics of current FEL
research. This thesis examines the Boeing Average Power Laser
Experiment (APLE), whose main goal is to demonstrate the FEL's
high average power capability for the first time. The
experiment is in the design stage, with completion scheduled
for 1996.
