Experimental observation of nonlinear Thomson scattering
A century ago, J. J. Thomson1 showed that the scattering of low-intensity light by electrons was a linear process (i.e., the scattered light frequency was identical to that of the incident light) and that light’s...

Experimental observation of relativistic nonlinear Thomson scattering
Classical Thomson scattering1 — the scattering of low-intensity light by electrons — is a linear process, in that it does not change the frequency of the radiation; moreover, the magnetic-field component of light...

Generation of Ultrashort Electron Bunches Using Table-Top Laser-Plasma-Based Electron Accelerators
As an ultrashort high-intensity laser pulse propagates in a plasma, an electron plasma wave with relativistic phase velocity is excited by stimulated Raman forward scattering instability. A low emittance, rela...
