Abstract:
A photocathode emitter can include a transparent substrate, a photocathode layer, and a plasmonic structure array disposed between the transparent substrate and the photocathode layer. The plasmonic structure can serve as a spot-confining structure and an electrical underlayer for biasing the photocathode. The plasmonic structure can confine the incident light at subwavelength sizes.
