ABSTRACT:
In a first preferred embodiment, the invention is an apparatus for generating radiation comprising: means for generating a beam of electrons; means for constraining the beam of electrons to travel in a substantially straight path over a predetermined distance; means for generating a standing wave of light; and means for causing the beam of electrons to pass through the standing wave of light during a portion of the straight path, thereby causing certain of said electrons to emit radiation. The standing wave of light is preferably generated by a continuous wave beam of light that is circulating in a power build up cavity. In another preferred embodiment, the invention is a method of generating radiation, the method comprising the steps of
