In a recent paper it has been shown that single electron Thomson backscatter calculations can be performed including the effects of pulsed high intensity lasers. In this paper we present a more detailed treatment of the problem and present results for more general scattering geometries. In particular, we present new results for 90° Thomson scattering. Such geometries have been increasingly studied as x-ray sources of short-pulse radiation. Also, we present a clearer physical basis for these different cases.
