Synthesizing free-electron wave functions by stimulated near-field interactions

Álvaro Rodríguez Echarri, Albert Polman

Stimulated electron-optical-near-field interactions imprint a coherent, phase-coherent modulation on the wave function of a free electron, of which the free-space dispersion subseq…

Plasmon-Enhanced Second-Harmonic Generation in Atomically Thin Crystalline Silver Nanostructures

Saad Abdullah, Philipp K. Jenke, Andrew P. Weber +8

The intrinsically weak nonlinear optical response of existing materials, further constrained by symmetry-forbidden second-order processes in centrosymmetric media, severely limits…

Active steering of cathodoluminescence through a generalized Smith-Purcell effect

Eduardo J. C. Dias, Álvaro Rodríguez Echarri, Theis P. Rasmussen +2

Optical metasurfaces can shape the near fields of energetic electrons, enabling Smith-Purcell (SP) emission. We introduce a generalized SP effect relying on finite periodic arrays…

Nonlinear photoluminescence in gold thin films

A. Rodríguez Echarri, F. Iyikanat, S. Boroviks +3

Promising applications in photonics are driven by the ability to fabricate crystal-quality metal thin films of controlled thickness down to a few nanometers. In particular, these m…
