-
The brightness is usually boosted by "insertion devices," however - trains of dipole magnets called undulators or wigglers, whose poles alternate north and south to make the electrons slalom back and forth.

-
The electrons will then be sent to a 791 m circumference storage ring that contains magnetic devices called "undulators", which forces the electrons to follow a sinusoidal path and emit X-rays.
-
And the undulators are built in such a way as to make the X-rays coherent, with a wavelength of 1.5 Angstroms (0.15 nanometer).

To my understanding, the undulators make the electrons wiggle and thus change course, during which they give off X-rays via synchrotron radiation.

The revamped Mickey Mouse club of 1989 showcased a rookie division of heartthrobs and undulators who would tramp all over the record charts in the following decade.

The new technology will benefit many other fields as well, from undulators for next-generation light sources to more compact medical devices.

And the wavelength of the light emitted can be readily tuned by adjusting the energy of the electron beam or the magnetic field strength of the undulators.

Synchrotrons, being roughly circular, can accommodate a great many beamlines, but a linac's one-way electron beam can be switched between several undulators, each a FEL tailored for different experimental needs.
