Six proceedings papers from the May/June 1995 symposium present a comprehensive overview of the free electron laser field. The contributions are graduate level lectures beginning with an introduction and continuing into a discussion of the author's current research, addressing topics in high brightness beams and applications, applications of free-electron lasers, free electron laser research in China, infrared free-electron lasers, and new intense electron beam generation by pseudospark discharge.
