Spatial coherence of electron bunches extracted from an arbitrarily shaped cold atom electron source.
We describe the spatial coherence properties of a cold atom electron source in the framework of a quasihomogeneous wavefield. The model is used as the basis for direct measurements of the transverse spatial coherence length of electron bunches extracted from a cold atom electron source. The coherence length is determined from the measured visibility of a propagated electron distribution with a ...
متن کاملHigh-coherence picosecond electron bunches from cold atoms.
Ultrafast electron diffraction enables the study of molecular structural dynamics with atomic resolution at subpicosecond timescales, with applications in solid-state physics and rational drug design. Progress with ultrafast electron diffraction has been constrained by the limited transverse coherence of high-current electron sources. Photoionization of laser-cooled atoms can produce electrons ...
متن کاملPulse length of ultracold electron bunches extracted from a laser cooled gas
We present measurements of the pulse length of ultracold electron bunches generated by near-threshold two-photon photoionization of a laser-cooled gas. The pulse length has been measured using a resonant 3 GHz deflecting cavity in TM110 mode. We have measured the pulse length in three ionization regimes. The first is direct two-photon photoionization using only a 480 nm femtosecond laser pulse,...
متن کاملTerahertz radiation from laser accelerated electron bunches
Coherent terahertz and millimeter wave radiation from laser accelerated electron bunches has been measured. The bunches were produced by tightly focusing ~spot diameter '6 mm) a high peak power ~up to 10 TW!, ultra-short (>50 fs) laser pulse from a high repetition rate ~10 Hz! laser system ~0.8 mm!, onto a high density (.10 cm) pulsed gas jet of length '1.5 mm. As the electrons exit the plasma,...
متن کاملMeasurement of Femtosecond Electron Bunches
Bunch lengths as short as 84 fs (rms) have been measured at Jefferson Lab using a zero-phasing RF technique. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first accurate bunch length measurement in this regime. In this letter, an analytical approach for computing the longitudinal distribution function and bunch length is described for . arbitrary longitudinal and transverse distributions. The measu...
