چکیده

Experimental methods for ultrafast microscopy are advancing rapidly. Promising methods combine ultrafast laser excitation with electron-based imaging or rely on super-resolution optical techniques to enable probing of matter on the nano-femto scale. Among several actively developed methods, ultrafast time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy provides several advantages, among which the foremost are that time resolution is limited only by the laser source and it is immediately capable of probing of coherent phenomena in solid-state materials and surfaces. Here we present recent progress in interference imaging of plasmonic phenomena in metal nanostructures enabled by combining a broadly tunable femtosecond laser excitation source with a low-energy electron microscope.

Effects of Electron-Gun and Laser Parameters on Collection Efficiency and Packet Duration in Ultrafast Electron Microscopy

Real-space imaging of full-morphological, angstrom-scale structural dynamics occurring on the femtosecond (fs) timescale is possible with ultrafast electron microscopy (UEM) via the stroboscopic pump-probe methodology enabled by interfacing an otherwise standard TEM with a short-pulsed laser system [1-3]. The technology has matured to the point that commercial systems, such as the FEI Tecnai Fe...

Quantum Dynamic Imaging

Studying and using light or “photons” to image and then to control and transmit molecular information is among the most challenging and significant research fields to emerge in recent years. One of the fastest growing areas involves research in the temporal imaging of quantum phenomena, ranging from molecular dynamics in the femto (10**-15 s) time regime for atomic motion to the atto (10**-18 s...

Femto-photography: capturing and visualizing the propagation of light Citation

We present femto-photography, a novel imaging technique to capture and visualize the propagation of light. With an effective exposure time of 1.85 picoseconds (ps) per frame, we reconstruct movies of ultrafast events at an equivalent resolution of about one half trillion frames per second. Because cameras with this shutter speed do not exist, we re-purpose modern imaging hardware to record an e...

Laser control of electron matter waves

In recent years laser light has been used to control the motion of electron waves. Electrons can now be diffracted by standing waves of light. Laser light in the vicinity of nanostructures is used to affect free electrons, for example, femto-second and atto-second laser-induced electrons are emitted from nanotips delivering coherent fast electron sources. Optical control of dispersion of the em...

Ultra-fast nano-optics

Ultra-fast nano-optics is a comparatively young and rapidly growing field of research aiming at probing, manipulating and controlling ultrafast optical excitations on nanometer length scales. This ability to control light on nanometric length and femtosecond time scales opens up exciting possibilities for probing dynamic processes in nanostructures in real time and space. This article gives a b...
