The electron dynamics and the Thomson backscattering spectra for an electron accelerating in a tightly focused Gaussian laser pulse are first investigated in detail. It is found that for a tightly focused Gaussian laser pulse, the ponderomotive force introduced due to the non-uniform intensity distribution of the laser pulse has the tendency to push out the electron from the laser pulse, which leads to the trajectory symmetry-breaking of the electron and then the generation of the even-order harmonics at the same time. Further, for the tightly focused Gaussian laser pulse, changes in several laser parameters, such as the increase of the laser peak amplitude, lengthening of the pulse width, and decrease of the beam waist, lead earlier to the relative ejected position of the electron to the laser pulse, which causes the more obvious trajectory symmetry-breaking of the electron, and then the more intensive peak intensity of the even-order harmonics. It is different from the well-known results of the plane waves and the Gaussian laser pulse with uniform transverse intensity distribution and provides a possible way for the generation of the even-order harmonics in nonlinear Thomson backscattering.
