Abstract
New suggestions to upgrade the hardware of high-power free-electron lasers and their possible applications are considered. In particular, improved electron injectors and exit systems for high-power radiation are needed to increase laser power. In this paper, the possibility of using inherent synchrotron radiation to illuminate the photoinjector cathode is analyzed. Special optical cavities with so-called electronic extraction of radiation from the cavity of a high-power free-electron laser are considered. In addition, the feasibilities of some projects utilizing the features of free-electron lasers such as high average power, tunability, and high optical quality of radiation are analyzed. Laser power beaming to remote objects in space, for example, to geostationary satellites, and the feasibility of a chemical reactor based on a high-power free-electron laser are considered.
