摘要

The dynamics of an electron driven by a relativistically intense laser pulse is analyzed on the basis of the equation of motion with the Lorentz force in the cases of linear and circular polarizations. Laser fields with nonplane phase fronts accelerate electrons in the longitudinal direction. An electron initially at rest is found not to move along figure-eight trajectories for the linear polarization, and not to move along circular trajectories for the circular polarization.
