Abstract :
A discussion is presented of the design and predicted performance of the CREOL-UCF Compact Free Electron Laser (CFEL-I). This device will consist of a 1.7-MV Pelletron electrostatic accelerator that will be able to provide electron beam energies between 800 keV and 1.7 MeV. A 200-mA electron beam will be used to achieve output laser power of up to 1 kW. Highly efficient electron beam transport and collection will enable this device to have a large duty cycle, and eventually it may operate on a CW basis. Construction of a microundulator is underway. The 8-mm microundulator period will allow device operation between 250 mu m and 1 mm.<>
