Abstract

The macrotemporal structure of a storage-ring free-electron laser is studied in relation to deterministic chaos laws. Comparison between experimental and theoretical results shows, for the first time, that the laser is determined by these laws. This can have important consequences for the future operation of free-electron lasers.
