In the article of L. E. Chipperfield et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 2009, 102, 063001], the ideal waveform was presented that maximised the recollision energy of a strong-field driven electron. In this paper we expound the derivation of this perfect wave, as well as a more general waveform for optimising electron trajectories for which the recollision occurs some distance from the place of origin. The ideal waveform acts as a guide for the synthesises of more practical waveforms that maximise the electron recollision energy, and so extend the high-order harmonic cut-off to higher frequencies.
