Electron bunch compression with an optical laser

We propose a simple scheme to compress an electron beam with an optical laser, which can potentially achieve a bunch BOSCH PCQ7A5B90 Gas Hob - Stainless Steel LPG Convertible length much shorter than what is currently available with a conventional radio-frequency technique.Instead of an energy chirp, the optical laser induces an energy modulation whose amplitude linearly changes along the longitudinal axis, which effectively compresses the electron beam after it passes through an optimized magnetic chicane.Numerical simulations performed to demonstrate the proposed scheme show that a free electron laser pulse with the peak power of 16 GW and the pulse length of 470 Iron as (attosecond) can be generated, if this scheme is applied to a 2-GeV and 2-kA electron beam.
