Electron microscopy can probe optical modes at the nanoscale with the light generated by a focused electron beam. In this the photonic density of states and optical transitions are mapped, while photon statistics reveal the properties and lifetime of excitations. However, current methods largely disregard correlated properties of the single electrons involved.
In this work, we demonstrate the generation of photons in a Si3N4 high-Q resonator and characterize their temporal and energetic correlation with the inelastically scattered electrons. We also show how photonic mode mapping using correlated events allows for a two-order of magnitude contrast enhancement for extremely low-intensity signals.
