Amplified short-wavelength light scattered by relativistic electrons in the laser-induced optical lattice

The scheme of the x-ray free electron laser based on the optical undulator created by two overlapped transverse laser beams is analyzed. A kinetic theoretical description and an ad hoc numerical model are developed to account for the finite energy spread, angular divergence, and the spectral propert...
