Field emission tip as a nanometer source of free electron femtosecond pulses.
We report a source of free electron pulses based on a field emission tip irradiated by a low-power femtosecond laser. The electron pulses are shorter than 70 fs and originate from a tip with an emission area diameter down to 2 nm. Depending on the operating regime we observe either photofield emission or optical field emission with up to 200 electrons per pulse at a repetition rate of 1 GHz. Th...
متن کاملFemtosecond 240-keV electron pulses from direct laser acceleration in a low-density gas.
We propose a simple laser-driven electron acceleration scheme based on tightly focused radially polarized laser pulses for the production of femtosecond electron bunches with energies in the few-hundreds-of-keV range. In this method, the electrons are accelerated forward in the focal volume by the longitudinal electric field component of the laser pulse. Three-dimensional test-particle and part...
متن کاملFemtosecond Photocathode Electron Source*
A photocathode-based low-emittance femtosecondbunch electron source is developed in Osaka University to reveal the hidden dynamics of intricate molecular and atomic processes in materials through experimentation such as time-resolved pulse radiolysis or time-resolved electron diffraction. The transverse and longitudinal dynamics of femtosecond electron beam in the photocathode rf gun were studi...
متن کاملFemtosecond and sub-femtosecond x-ray pulses from a SASE-based free-electron laser
We propose a novel method to generate femtosecond and sub-femtosecond photon pulses in a freeelectron laser by selectively spoiling the transverse emittance of the electron beam. Its merits are simplicity and ease of implementation. When the system is applied to the Linac Coherent Light Source, it can provide x-ray pulses the order of 1 femtosecond in duration containing about 1010 transversely...
متن کاملLocalized multiphoton emission of femtosecond electron pulses from metal nanotips.
Intense multiphoton electron emission is observed from sharp (approximately 20 nm radius) metallic tips illuminated with weak 100-pJ, 7-fs light pulses. Local field enhancement, evidenced by concurrent nonlinear light generation, confines the emission to the tip apex. Electrons are emitted from a highly excited nonequilibrium carrier distribution, resulting in a marked change of the absolute el...
