Novel conceptual approaches are pursued on different routes: One research direction lies in multiplying the source’s repetition rate and increasing its average brightness by placing the point of Compton interaction inside an optical cavity. High-gradient plasma-wakefield accelerators are fast becoming a practical reality, offering a new paradigm to compact all-optical Compton sources operating in x-ray- and gamma-regions. Continuing improvement in the quality of the beam of plasma accelerators promises the achievement of fully coherent Compton x-rays, thereby prompting the evolution of the Compton source to an all-optical free-electron laser.
