>From a recent article:

	The above schemes are conventional in that they use synchrotrons. Some
	people are investigating accelerating particles using the intense fields
	found in a laser beam (inverse free electron lasers) near a diffraction
	grating.

I don't think that many of us know what this is all about (I could be wrong.)
Could the author elaborate on the principles involved?
