We present a variational calculation of free-electron-laser gain the exponential regime before saturation using a dispersion relation incorporating the energy spread, emittance, and focusing of the electron beam, and the diffraction and guiding of the radiation. Rapid computation facilitates free-electron-laser design optimization. Results are expressed in a universal scaled form.
