Title: Amplification of ultrashort laser pulses upon stimulated Compton scattering in plasma

Journal Article · · Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

Stimulated Compton scattering of counterpropagating laser beams in a moving plasma is studied theoretically. It is shown that, by using Compton scattering, picosecond or femtosecond laser pulses can be amplified under certain conditions by two-three orders of magnitude.
