Abstract

One-dimensional analysis of electron acceleration by a nonlinear chirped Gaussian laser pulse was investigated numerically. Two main nonlinear chirped pulses, polynomial and periodical were used. The maximum energy of electron in nonlinear chirped is approximately three times more than that of linear chirped. In the case of first order nonlinear polynomial chirp, Ω(ξ) = 1 + aξ + bξ2, the electron can be accelerated up to 5.3 GeV. Indeed, the analysis of the electron trajectory in x-z plane showed that the electron in the field of the nonlinear chirped pulse has a much smaller divergence than that of linear chirped pulse.
