German-French research team builds free-electron laser driven by particles from a plasma accelerator

Caption

German-French research team builds free-electron laser at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) driven by particles from a plasma accelerator - and generates well-controllable laser flashes for the first time with this still young technology. In the foreground, the beam line framed by a light-blue magnet arrangement, the undulator; in the background, the metallic beam chamber for the high-power laser DRACO at HZDR.
