title = "Generation of ultrashort pulses of electrons, X-rays and optical pulses by relativistically strong light",
abstract = "We report recent results of experiments in which relativistic optical effects play an important role, at peak laser intensities above 10 19 W/cm 2. These effects are leading to novel radiation sources, all with femtosecond pulse durations: (1) the generation of optical photons by means of pulse compression via relativistic cross-phase modulation, (2) ponderomotive deflection of laser accelerated electron beams, and (3) the generation of well-collimated keV-energy x-ray beams by means of either Thomson scattering or betatron oscillations in ion channels.",
