Several schemes have been proposed for accelerating electrons to very high energies (>TeV) using laser light to generate a traveling wave as the accelerating source. Although the techniques generally are quite different from one another, they all have in common the need to match the electrons and the accelerating wave at the correct phase to obtain net acceleration of the electrons. In addition, the acceleration gradient obtainable from these schemes is of the order of a few GeV/m assuming terawatt size laser peak powers.
