Abstract

A two-parameter model for chirping the frequency of a plane-wave laser pulse is introduced using a binomial expansion. Acceleration of single electrons, through interaction with the plane-wave binomially chirped laser pulse, is investigated by solving the relativistic equations of motion, analytically and numerically. Multi-GeV energy gains are reported from interaction with 10\(^{20}\) W/cm\(^2\) peak-intensity chirped pulses.

Contributions

HBB and NMJ suggested the binomial chirp idea, expressed in Eq. (3). YIS did all of the analytical work and carried out all of the numerical calculations, prepared the figures, and wrote up the manuscript. All authors participated in the discussions leading to the final version of the manuscript.
