Femtosecond surface plasmon pulse propagation.
We analyze ultrafast surface plasmon-polariton pulse reshaping effects and nonlinear propagation modes for metal/dielectric plasmon waveguides. It is found that group velocity and loss dispersion effects can substantially modify both pulse duration (broadening/narrowing) and intensity decay (acceleration/retardation) by as much as several tens of percentage points in the short-pulse regime and ...
متن کاملHot-electron nanoscopy using adiabatic compression of surface plasmons.
Surface plasmon polaritons are a central concept in nanoplasmonics and have been exploited to develop ultrasensitive chemical detection platforms, as well as imaging and spectroscopic techniques at the nanoscale. Surface plasmons can decay to form highly energetic (or hot) electrons in a process that is usually thought to be parasitic for applications, because it limits the lifetime and propaga...
متن کاملAcceleration element for femtosecond electron pulse compression.
An acceleration element is proposed for compressing the electron pulse duration in a femtosecond photoelectron gun. The element is a compact metal cavity with curved-shaped walls. An external voltage is applied to the cavity where a special electric field forms in such a way that the slow electrons in the electron pulse front are accelerated more than the fast electrons, and consequently the el...
متن کاملPulse shape measurements using differential optical gating of a picosecond free electron laser source with an unsynchronized femtosecond Ti:sapphire gate
We have measured the temporal pulse shape of a mid-infrared free electron laser using a 60 fs Ti:sapphire pulse as an optical gate. By employing a differential technique to simultaneously measure the instantaneous infrared intensity and its time derivative, we have reconstructed the pulse shape with sub-ps resolution, despite jitter the order of 50 ps between the two lasers. The experiment has ...
متن کاملFemtosecond nonlinear ultrasonics in gold probed with ultrashort surface plasmons.
Fundamental interactions induced by lattice vibrations on ultrafast time scales have become increasingly important for modern nanoscience and technology. Experimental access to the physical properties of acoustic phonons in the terahertz-frequency range and over the entire Brillouin zone is crucial for understanding electric and thermal transport in solids and their compounds. Here we report on...
