This leads to an increase in the resulting pump electric field in the system and, therefore, to a significant increase in the growth increments of all harmonics. We demonstrate that the saturation length of SCWs decreases because of generating an additional electric field, which allows engineers to reduce the device dimensions. We show that the effect of the generation of an additional electric field does not destroy the SCW's amplitude spectrum in the process of its amplification along the saturation length. Thus, we propose to use the studied systems for multiharmonic parametric superheterodyne FELs to amplify multiharmonic signals without distorting their amplitude spectra.
