According to the classical theory of backwards Thomson scattering, if an electron is encountered with an intense multi-cycle circularly polarized laser pulse, the radiated power is produced in the propagation of the laser pulse. The spatial and temporal emission characteristics of radiation have been investigated theoretically and numerically using a single electron model. The motion of an electron is highly relativistic and the radiated power produced by head-on collision transits from two peaks to single peak finally. This interesting phenomenon can be attributed to acceleration of the single electron on the z axis and has been studied in detail in this treatise.
