On their slalom course through a periodic arrangement of magnets (undulator), the electron bunches emit radiation (photons) of a fixed wavelength. The photon beam travels in a straight line along the direction of the electron beam and overlaps with the electron bunch, causing it to take on the regular structure of the X-rays. A series of individual "discs" of charge is formed which radiate in synchrony, thus generating an intense laser beam. (Courtesy DESY Hamburg)
