Abstract
Based on the classical theory of nonlinear Thomson scattering and the single electron model, we performed extensive numerical simulations in MATLAB R2022b to comprehensively investigate how the initial phase of a tightly focused, circularly polarized laser pulse affects the radiation characteristics of high-energy electrons at different energy levels. Our findings indicate that the polar angle corresponding to the maximum radiation energy remains constant as the initial phase of the laser changes from 0 to 2π, while the azimuth angle correspondingly moves from 0 to 2π. Moreover, as the initial phase changes, the pulse width of the electron radiation peak displays a quasi-periodic oscillation with a period of π. Notably, an increase in the initial energy of the electrons results in a significant enhancement in both the peak radiation value and the collimation of the radiation. These results demonstrate that manipulating the initial phase of the driving laser pulse enables effective control over the spatial distribution of radiation light.
