Abstract

A photocathode emitter includes a transparent substrate, a photocathode layer, and a plasmonic structure array disposed between the transparent substrate and the photocathode layer. The plasmonic structure array is configured to operate at a wavelength from 193 nm to 430 nm. The plasmonic structure array can be made of aluminum. An electron beam can be generated from a light beam directed at the plasmonic structure array of the photocathode emitter.
