When high-energy electron beams interact with materials, light can be emitted by the excited sample. This radiation is known as coherent or incoherent cathodoluminescence (CL), depending on the underlying interaction mechanism, and gained a major interest in the study of minerals, semiconductors and plasmonic resonances in nanoparticles, where both spectral and temporal statistics can be unraveled. Due to the high spatial resolution and large spectral excitation bandwidth of the electron beams inside an SEM, electrons locally probe photonic modes, resulting in the capability to image their spatial near-field distribution via CL spectroscopy. Here, we report on the construction of a fiber-based CL detector for an SEM. We present first measurements to prove the ability for raster scanning the samples CL emission using fibers. Additionally, this detector is implemented inside an ultrafast SEM (USEM) setup for realizing a time-resolved electron-light pump-probe measurement configuration, where the luminescence of a sample, coming from the excitation either with electron or laser pulses, will be spatially resolved. This will be used to improve the USEM setup and analyze the dynamics of electron-light-matter interaction.
