Comment on “Electron acceleration by a chirped Gaussian laser pulse in vacuum”Phys. Plasmas13, 123108 (2006)

摘要

Sohbatzadeh [Phys. Plasmas 13, 123108 (2006)] have presented a scheme of vacuum electron acceleration by using a chirped Gaussian laser pulse. They assume a linear polarization of the laser pulse in this scheme. We point out that this might be an important assumption in their work and it can seriously influence the electron energy gain during laser acceleration. In this Comment, the circular polarization of a chirped laser pulse is employed and our results show higher electron energy gains
