Ultrafast laser-wire scanning with electro-optics

5 pp. (2006).
The possibility is presented of using electro-optics techniques to increase laser-wire scanning rates for intra-train scanning at the international linear collider (ILC). The requirements include the preservation of the laser beam mode quality and the ability to work with laser beam powers of order 10 MW. The first ideas of a possible device configuration are presented together with a survey of Electro-Optic (EO) materials and first experimental results using linear prisms.
