Abstract

The chapter generalizes an approach for simulating a wide spectrum of electromagnetic waves based on an example of an inhomogeneous electromagnetic wave created by a superposition of two plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves arbitrarily directed with respect to each other. The complete system of equations that describe the motion of an electron in an inhomogeneous electromagnetic field is numerically solved. The features of the trajectory and spectrum of the electron radiation were discovered and investigated.
