Significance of output:

Introduces a fundamentally new concept for wavelength-tuneable nanoscale light sources and describes their first experimental realization: scaling free-electron lasing (FEL) ideas 10^-8 in size, 10^-6 in electron energy. The outcome/basis of on-going international collaborations (Abajo sabbatical in Southampton from CSIC-Madrid/ICFO www.icfo.eu/research/group_details.php?id=41; Tsai, National Taiwan University http://pnstl.phys.ntu.edu.tw/), this work generated significant interest (PRL Editor's Suggestion; Nature Photonics Highlight; Nature Nanotechnology News & Views; MRS Spring and SPIE Optics & Photonics 2009 invited presentations), informed core themes of an EPSRC programme grant in Southampton (EP/G060363/1, £5M, 01/2010-12/2015) and is followed by leaders in the photonics, THz and FEL fields (doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.83.066609, doi:10.1088/2040-8978/12/2/024004, doi:10.1109/JPHOT.2012.2190724).
