Description
The interaction of electron beams with tailored light fields offers promising opportunities for beam shaping. Due to energy-momentum conservation at least two free-space light modes are required to enable a phase-matched interaction with electrons. Slight detuning from phase-matching leads to ponderomotive potentials acquiring a relative velocity with respect to the electron. Superposition of multiple such potential components opens the door to spatial and temporal tailoring of electron-light interaction. In our work, we aim to explore electron beam shaping using spatially and temporally modulated ponderomotive potentials.
