SASE (self-amplified spontaneous emission)
electrons in phase with e.m.-wave are retarded (“emit photons”), electrons with opposite phase gain energy (“absorb photons”)
longitudinal charge density modulation (“micro-bunching”)
with periodicity equal to λphot
self-amplification of spontaneous emission due to increasingly coherent emission from micro-bunches (like point charge)

XFELs statistically behave as chaotic sources
and not as a fully coherent sources!
What about seeded FELs?
