Description

A technique of direct generation and detection of femtosecond electron bunches is reported. These electrons pulses are measured with high accuracy using nonlinear photoemission. In this initial demonstration, n=1 and higher-order femtosecond optical soliton pulses are used to liberate electrons from metals
