Abstract

A scheme for electron acceleration by two crossing chirped lasers has been proposed. An important effect of a frequency chirp of the laser is investigated. Two high intensity chirped lasers, with the same amplitude and frequency, crossing at an arbitrary angle in a vacuum, interfere, causing modulation of laser intensity. An electron experiences a ponderomotive force due to the resultant field of lasers and gains considerable energy. For a certain crossing angle, the electron gains maximum energy due to the constructive interference. A frequency chirp of the laser plays an important role during the electron acceleration in a vacuum. The electron momentum increases due to the frequency chirp. Hence, the electron energy is enhanced during acceleration.
