In this paper, we present the promise of a new method generating double electron pulses with the picosecond-scale pulse length and the tunable interpulse spacing at several picoseconds, which has been witnessed an impressive potential of application in pump-probe techniques, two-color X-ray free electron laser (FEL), high-gradient witness bunch acceleration in a plasma, etc. Three-dimensional simulations are carried out to analyze the dynamic of the electron beam in the linear accelerator. Some comparisons have been made between the new method and the existing ways as well.
