Abstract
The effect of frequency variation (chirp) in an electromagnetic (EM) pulse on the pulse interaction with a charged particle and plasma is studied. Various types of chirp and pulse envelopes are considered. In vacuum, a charged particle receives a kick in the polarization direction after interaction with a chirped EM pulse. Interaction of a one-dimensional chirped pulse with uniform plasma is considered. We found that the amplitude of the wake wave generated in plasma by an EM pulse can be significantly higher when the pulse is chirped.
