The idea we propose is based on avoiding the direct interaction between the laser and the atomic/molecular components of the thin film which the laser interacts with, in the purpose of saving the energy of the emergent laser. For this purpose the emergent laser interacts with free electrons generated by an electron source, then the laser accelerated electrons by the laser attract... -
