Electron beams can inelastically interact with matters, and as a result, photons are emitted to the far-field. Mechanisms of electron-induced radiations are numerous, covering Cherenkov radiation, transition radiation, and plasmon-induced radiation, to name a few (Rev. Mod. Phys. 82, 209 (2010)). Here, we report on metamaterial- and photon-sieve-based structures for tailoring the electron-induced emission (Nature communications 10 (1), 599 (2019)). By engineering the dispersion of the interface optical modes, radiation relaxation channels for the plasmon polaritons supported by our engineered thin film are formed, leading to an enhanced electron-induced radiation. We also particularly emphasize on the generation of chiral light using plasmonic chains of nanohole arrays. Moreover, we outline our efforts towards realization of combined electron-photon spectroscopy techniques for investigating nanooptical systems in electron microscopes, using electron-driven photon sources (Scientific Reports 6, 33874 (2016)).
