报告摘要: The interaction between free electrons and photons gives rise to a multitude of fundamental radiative processes in electrodynamics and is foundational for modern electron microscopy and spectroscopy, particle acceleration, and biomedical applications. The dimensionality mismatch between free electrons and photons intrinsically limits their interaction strength. It is thus pertinent to elucidate if there are fundamental bounds to the interaction strength and, if so, how to approach them in nanophotonic environments. We previously derived a single-frequency upper limit to the spontaneous photon emission and energy loss of free electrons, regardless of geometry, which illuminates the effects of material properties and electron velocities [1]. Guided by this upper limit, we identified photonic flatband resonances as a potential candidate for strong free-electron-light interaction [2]. We designed flatband resonances in a silicon-on-insulator photonic crystal slab to control and enhance the associated free-electron radiation by tuning their trajectory and velocity. We observed signatures of flatband enhancement, realized polarization shaping of free-electron radiation, and characterized photonic bands through electron-beam measurements. Very recently, we generalized the upper limit in the quantum regime by deriving the maximal quantum interaction strength between free electrons and photons [3].
