The exact solution of the classical nonlinear equation of motion for a relativistic electron in the field of two electromagnetic (EM) waves is obtained. For the particular case of the linearly polarized standing EM wave in the planar optical cavity, intensity of the nonlinear Compton scattering, the time of flight, and the momentum variation after the relativistic electron passes along the cavity axis are calculated in weak and strong field limits. These effects depend on the initial phase of the EM wave at the electron entrance into the cavity and can be used for producing, diagnostics, and acceleration of relativistic electron (positron) microbunches.
