After the confirmation of the generation of the Compton backscattered X-rays with Nd:YAG laser and 150 MeV electron beam pulses at last fiscal year, we make some improvements for increase the generated X-ray flux. As one of them, we are developing the laser pulse compression with the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) to obtain a high peak intensity of the Nd:YAG laser. As the SBS medium, we adopt a liquid fluorocarbon which has well achievements for the pulse compression at ILE at Osaka University. We aim the compressed pulse duration to be less than 1 ns. On this meeting we show the present status of the SBS pulse compression system for the Compton backscattering. In addition, we present the recent result of the Compton backscattering experiment without the laser compression technique.
