Electron acceleration by exponentially chirped laser pulses
Single-electron acceleration in vacuum by exponentially chirped plane-wave and tightly focused Gaussian laser pulses is investigated. Numerical calculations and particle-in-cell simulations, employing the chirped fields, demonstrate that GeV net energy gain, over sub-millimeter excursion distances, is possible from PW-class femtosecond laser pulses.
