Comment on “Nonlinear Compton scattering and electron acceleration in interfering laser beams”

Abstract

We point out that, the way it is reported, the solution to the equation of motion of a relativistic electron in the field of two electromagnetic waves advanced recently by Amatuni and Pogorelsky [Phys. Rev. ST Accel. Beams 1, 034001 (1998)] does not handle the case of two copropagating waves differing in frequency. An equivalent form for that solution is rigorously developed.
