      abstract     = {Compact brilliant attosecond electron and x-ray sources
                      promise to bring wide-spread access to groundbreaking
                      scientific, technological, and medical tools. In the pursuit
                      of such visionary technology, this thesis describes in
                      detail three key scientific and technological feasibility
                      advances towards the development of novel electron and x-ray
                      sources based entirely on optical lasers. The main areas
                      covered are (i) high average- and peak-power optical laser
                      development, (ii) efficiency scaling and limitations of
                      terahertz radiation generation, and (iii) direct
                      longitudinal laser acceleration of electrons in vacuum. In
                      (i) we will point at Yb:YLF technology as a candidate for
                      optical energy scaling at high repetition rates and sub-ps
                      pulse durations, and will present a thorough front-end
                      design and preliminary experimental results. In (ii) we will
                      describe in detail theoretical and experimental aspects of
                      the primary mechanisms that contribute to increasing and
                      ultimately saturating the optical-toterahertzenergy
                      conversion efficiency in lithium niobate through optical
                      rectification, and show the highest efficiency demonstrated
                      to date. In (iii) we will expound on the first-time
                      demonstration of longitudinal acceleration of electrons
                      using relativistic radially-polarized few-cycle pulses in an
                      entirely free-space environment. Throughout the thesis and
                      specially in the introduction, we will discuss how each
                      independent topic relates to one anotherand ultimately
                      integrates into the concept of compact relativistic electron
                      and bright x-ray sources.},
