Free Electron Lasers are the focus of a recently announce Innovative Navy Prototype to develop a directed energy weapon system for the self-defense of ships. Operating in a shipboard environment poses several challenges that must be overcome. Short Rayleigh length systems offer solutions to some of these problems. Simulations were performed to examine the benefit of short Rayleigh length designs in the face of electron beam misalignment. Additionally, simulations were ...
