Abstract
The scattering of laser Light by electrons is considered. When the ele ctron is counterstreaming and highly relativistic, and the laser light ultraintense, the scattered light is mainly in the higher harmonics, and the frequency upshift is further enhanced by the Doppler effect. T his provides a mechanism for very large frequency up-conversion. (C) 1 998 American Institute of Physics.
