摘要
Linear and periodic effects of frequency chirp on electron acceleration by radially polarized (RP) laser pulse in vacuum have been investigated. A frequency chirp influences the electron dynamics, betatron resonance, and energy gain by electron during interaction with the RP laser pulse and ensures effective electron acceleration with high energy gain (similar to GeV). The electron energy gain with a periodic frequency chirped laser pulse is about twice as high as with a linear chirp. Our observations reveal electron energy gain of about 10.5 GeV with a periodic chirped RP petawatt laser pulse in vacuum.
