In laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA), high-energy electrons are accelerated by a plasma wave with a wavelength of ～10 µm driven by an intense laser pulse, and a femtosecond electron pulse can be produced. The development of ultrashort X-ray sources using ultrashort electron pulse driven by LWFA has been conducted, and applications to high resolution imaging, observation of ultrafast phenomena and so on have been also demonstrated. In this paper, we review the present status and future prospects of X-ray sources using laser Compton scattering and betatron radiation based on LWFA.
