Abstract :
Conceptual studies of two free-electron lasers (FELs) located at the output of the front end and north linac of the CEBAF (Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility) accelerator are conducted. The high average beam power and the superior electron beam quality produced by the linac yield projections of tunable output power that substantially exceed existing and most proposed sources. The tolerances for most FEL components are not severe but the high optical power requires careful consideration and, perhaps, special optical cavity arrangements and mirror designs.<>
