Abstract

We describe a method to obtain sufficiently low energy spread laser wakefield accelerated electron beams for injection into a conventional undulator and free electron lasing. By using two laser pulses: a moderate power laser to inject and accelerate electrons via its wakefield to moderate energies and a second more powerful laser pulse to generate another wakefield further accelerating them to 1 GeV, and properly matching the acceleration stages an energy spread of 0.2% is possible, leading to the realization of a compact X-ray free electron laser.
