A Thomson source generates high energy radiation by colliding a laser pulse with an electron beam. This process can be described fully by classical electrodynamics [1]. The bandwidth of the emitted radiation depends, amongst others, by the energy spread of the electrons. When the energy spread is correlated a chirp can be introduced on the laser pulse such that the frequency of the laser is matched to the energy of an electron. Two different geometries have been investigated: an energy spread along propagation and in the transverse direction. For both geometries the bandwidth of the emitted radiation can be reduced to that of the case of a monochromatic electron beam.
