Electron optics and spectroscopy instrumentation developments in the last 20 years have considerably widened the range of applicability of electron beam techniques to nano-optics: meV beam energy spread, single atoms imaging capabilities, electron wavefunction shaping, fs pump probe experiments, and efficient light coupling to and from samples are a reality. These have enabled the study of a variety of excitations (plasmons, phonons, excitons...) at extreme spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions. Therefore, new theories have blossomed to explain exciting results coming from electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), cathodoluminescence (CL) and photon induced near-filed electron microscopy (PINEM), and central concepts of nanooptics or quantum optics have been shown to be applicable to electron-based spectroscopies.
Two years after the success of the first international school focused on electron spectroscopies for nano-optics, we have built a new program that takes into account the first edition successes and weaknesses. We aim to spread knowledge about these new concepts and techniques and to foment the interest of a new generation of academics in this blooming field. We have conserved the successful lectures on the basics of electron instrumentation and spectroscopies; electron-matter-light interaction; electron spectroscopies of optical material; time, space, and quantum coherence in electron spectroscopy; advanced EELS and CL and photoemission , and complemented the program with an introduction to nano-optics, a lecture on ab-initio calculations for optical excitation and optoelectronics with free electron beams.
Simulations and data analysis hands-on tutorials as well as state-of-the-art electron spectroscopies technique demonstrations now complement these more fundamental lectures
