Modulation of electron waves by means of a laser
- Iowa State Univ., Ames, IA (United States)
In December of 1969 a paper entitled "Modulation of an Electron Wave by a Light Wave" was published in Applied Physics Letters (4). The authors were Helmut Schwarz of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Heinrich Hora visting at Rensselaer but since returned to the Institute fur Plasmaphysik, Max Planck Gesellschaft, Garching, Germany. They reported. an effect in which electron transmission diffraction patterns of thin monocrystal films are made visible on a nonluminescent screen by means of the simultaneous intersection of a laser beam with the electron beam within the crystal (see Figure 1). The report of this phenomenon was to start a cascade of experimental and theoretical research that is continuing at this writing. It was also to open the door to mystery and intrigue - the type of which the American physicist is seldom forced t o confront
