Bringing light into electron microscopy: From ultrafast plasmonics to heralded single-photon sources

MPSD Seminar
The interaction of intense light fields with matter is pivotal in various physical contexts, ranging from coherent control schemes in atomic physics to steering the flow of energy in solid-state systems. In particular, joining free-electron beams with ultrafast lasers facilitates the probing of nanoscale dynamics in ultrafast transmission electron microscopy (UTEM) and opens the field of free-electron quantum optics. In my talk, I will briefly introduce the UTEM methodology that combines state-of-the-art TEM with optical pump-probe spectroscopy [1,2], show selected applications in the study of ultrafast dynamics, and discuss the coherent coupling of electrons and photons down to the single particle level.
