Free-electron lasers were invented at Stanford University by
John Madey. While these lasers share the same optical properties as
conventional lasers, the main difference between the two is the
principal they use to form the beam.

The size of a laser or electron beam is measured in
milliradians. This is because they are subject to divergence.
