Generation of intense attosecond x-ray pulses using ultraviolet laser induced microbunching in electron beams

We propose a scheme that combines the echo-enabled harmonic generation technique with the bunch compression and allows one to generate harmonic numbers of a few hundred in a microbunched beam through up-conversion of the frequency of an ultraviolet seed laser. A few-cycle intense laser is used to ge...
