Wiggler radiation presents a much greater divergence in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The beam sizes at the source are similar for most wavelength of interest if one selects the radiation around the axis of the electron beam.

In general, the divergence of the undulator radiation depends on the undulator length, photon energy, electron energy spread and undulator tuning. The values given in the table correspond to an undulator operated on a sufficiently low harmonic to neglect the contribution from the electron energy spread. The tuning of the undulator corresponds to a maximum of the spectral flux per unit surface on axis of the electron beam. There exists one such maximum for each odd harmonic of the spectrum. Tuning the photon energy to higher (lower) values or equivalently the magnetic gap to lower (higher) values may result in a narrower (wider) divergence . In most cases these figures are correct to 15% or better.
