   In the paper new theoretical aspects of temporal focusing of photoelectron bunch in time-dependent fields are elucidated. The results of computer modeling on electron-optical system with combined time-dependent electric and static magnetic fields which ensure both spatial focusing of the bunch and its temporal compressing up to the sub-femtosecond level are presented.
