| Abstract | To enhance the spectral and temporal properties of a free-electron laser the FEL process can be seeded by an external light field. The quality of this light field strongly influences the final characteristics of the seeded FEL pulse. To push the limits of a seeding experiment and reach the smallest possible wavelengths it is therefore crucial to have a thorough understanding of relations between laser parameters and seeding performance. In this contribution we numerically study the influence of laser wavefront imperfections on high-gain harmonic generation seeding at the seeding experiment at FLASH. | |||||
