Abstract
We propose a method of compressing and focusing electron pulses to attosecond durations and sub-micrometer-dimensions using the optical ponderomotive force. Applications include ultrafast electron diffraction, flat electron beam creation, and free-electron-based coherent terahertz emission schemes.
