Abstract
We report recent results of an experiment in which nonrelativistic electrons exchanged energy with the optical field of two intense counterpropagating laser beams in the presence of an axial electric field. The beam sources were two TEA C02 laser beams operating in single transverse and longitudinal modes at two different wave-lengths:10.6 and 9.3 µm. The beam powers were 250 kW peak in 150-ns pulses and 1-mm beam waist sizes. The electron-beam energy was ~1 keV, and the axial electric field was a retarding 62-V/m field applied along an interaction length of 60 cm.
