| We discuss techniques for 3-D laser pulse shaping aimed at improving the performance of photoinjectors and hence free-electron lasers seeded by the electron beams from such photoinjectors. These techniques are based on laser phase-space manipulation in conjunction with refractive/diffractive optics. We present a few schemes for 3-D laser pulse shaping that can be used to generate ellipsoidal laser pulses. Simulation results based on physical optics will be given. |
