Unlike at any single TEM (n, m) mode laser, there is a subluminous phase velocity region located along the central region of a TEM (1,0)+TEM (0,1) mode laser. In conjunction with the high longitudinal electric field in this region, it forms another acceleration channel, which also locates inside the transverse ponderomotive potential trap. Through simulation, it is found that relativistic electrons injected into this acceleration channel can stand at the acceleration phase for a long time and be synchronously accelerated to high energies. Also, the accelerated electrons can be well confined inside the trap avoiding the transverse scattering problem.
