Abstract

The electron dynamics and harmonics radiation spectra due to electron oscillation driven by laser standing wave (SW) have been investigated considering a single electron mode. It is found that electron can pass through or be reflected from laser SW as electron is shot into laser SW from antinodes plane with initial velocity parallel to electric field of SW, and for electron incidence at arbitrary plane the attraction plane of electron trajectories will transfer from nodes plane to antinodes plane if initial electron kinetic energy exceeds a critical value. Further, the harmonics emission due to electron oscillation during passing through laser SW is considered in two cases of electron incidence plane at nodes and antinodes. In case of electron incidence at nodes, the spectrum of radiation is redshifted for backward radiation and blueshifted for forward radiation, and broadening of spectrum is noticed. These effects are much more pronounced at higher laser intensities. However, for case with electron incidence at antinodes, these phenomena vanish.
