Generation of single cycle attosecond pulse via Thomson scattering of Gaussian beam interacting with a single electron in the electrostatic field environment

Abstract The new way of generating the attosecond pulses via Thomson scattering of linear polarization Gaussian beam propagating on solid surface is investigated. It is found that a single attosecond laser pulse is generated which renders the appropriate strength electrostatic field to the environment. After studying the influence of the strength of the electrostatic field on it, the results show that a single attosecond pulse is generated when intensity of Gaussian beam is 5 and intensity of the electrostatic field is E s  = 5 ×10 −4 , which is more intense and direction simplification.
