A key issue in realizing single-shot ultrafast electron diffraction and
electron deflectometry is the development of intense short electron
pulse sources. Electrons accelerated by intense femtosecond laser pulses
are promising for intense electron pulse sources. Our laboratory has
been studying the physics of electron emission during and after
laser-plasma interactions with the aim of developing higher intensity
electron pulses. We have demonstrated femtosecond pulse compression of a
laser-accelerated electron beam and a single shot diffraction image,
directional intense electron emission from a metal wire target, and
observed intense THz surface (Sommerfeld) wave traveling along the wire
target with femtosecond electron deflectometry.
