Two-dimensional simulations of photon acceleration by using a laser wake field are presented with a fully electromagnetic and relativistic particle-in-cell code. The frequency increase of about 10% is observed, which is saturated mainly by diffraction and dispersion of the laser pulse. Images of electron density and laser field profiles are presented.
