Abstract

A simple model is proposed to study the field generated by a 3D plasma layer. The model neglects electron–electron interactions in the same way as occurs in the well known moving mirror models. However, the present model considers the radiation emitted by the moving electrons in a more precise way than in the mirror models, and allows the study of underdense or near critical plasmas. Results, including the transverse intensity profile of the driving field, are presented that show the possibility of generating trains of attosecond pulses.
