| 1. A compact two-beam push-pull free electron laser comprising:
A) a pair of opposed electron beam acclerators that produce identical first and second electron beams moving in opposite directions
such that each set of superconducting cavities accelerates one electron beam and decelerates the other electron beam; and
B) a wiggler located intermediate the pair of opposed electron beam accelerators receiving electron bunches from each of the
opposed electron beam accelerators.
