Abstract
The modification induced on the well-known antisymmetric gain function of a free-electron laser when the gain coefficient g 0 ranges up to 10 is studied. Deviations from the linear regime for g 0⩾0.5 are presented, and a simple perturbative analysis which accounts remarkably well for the corrections to the linear gain formula even for g 0=10 is discussed. The effect of inhomogeneous broadening is also discussed
