Characterization of an ultrafast MHz electron point source — •Jannik Malter, Melanie Müller, Faruk Krecinic, and Ralph Ernstorfer — Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Faradayweg 4-6, 14195 Berlin, Germany

Ultrafast electron point sources allow for electron microscopy and diffraction [1] as well as scanning probe techniques [2] with very high spatial and temporal resolution. The laser repetition rate is a crucial parameter as it directly influences statistics of the measurement, and taking the required laser pulse energy into account determines the thermal stress on the tip. We discuss photoemission from a metal tip using an optical parametric amplified laser in the low-MHz regime. Photoemission is either triggered by direct illumination of the apex, or by excitation and nanofocusing of surface plasmon polaritons [3]. Due to the better thermal response of the tip, the latter approach could possibly lead to femtosecond electron holography and contribute to laser-triggered ultrafast STMs.
