Laser chirping in inverse Compton sources at high electron beam energies and high laser intensities

The onset of nonlinear effects, such as ponderomotive broadening, increases the radiation bandwidth and thereby places a stringent limitation on the laser intensity used in inverse Compton sources. Recently, we have shown that a judicious longitudinal laser frequency modulation (“chirping”) can perf...
