In an ultrafast transmission electron microscope (UTEM), inelastic scattering between the free-electron beam and strong optical near-fields [1] allows for coherent manipulations of the electron quantum state [2]. Specifically, a light field imprints a phase modulation on the electron wave function, which is translated into an attosecond-structured electron density modulation by subsequent dispersive propagation [3].
Here, we employ multiple phase-locked field interactions to reconstruct the temporal structure of the electron density with our newly developed quantum state tomography technique ‘SQUIRRELS’ [4]. We experimentally demonstrate the compression of electron pulses into a train of attosecond bursts, which will promote new forms of ultrafast electron microscopy with attosecond resolution.
