Hot Electrons and Integrated Photonics for Electron Emitters

Rehan Kapadia, University of Southern California

In this talk, we will discuss some of our recent work on how hot electronics and integrated photonics can be used to fabricate electron emitters. First, we show how hot-electron processes can dramatically reduce the optical power densities required for photoemission. Then, we discuss how integrated photonics can be used to create photocathodes exhibiting simultaneous high quantum efficiency, low mean transverse energy, and fast temporal response critical for next generation electron sources.

Zoom Info and further event details will be communicated through email by CBB Admin.

2:30pm - 5:00pm

As a follow up to the required viewing of Picture a Scientist, we are hosting a workshop by Cornell’s Intergroup Dialogue Project. All CBB members are expected to attend. 

Cornell’s Intergroup Dialogue Project is an academic initiative, grounded in both theory and practice, which empowers people to engage in critical dialogue and lead strategic change in their spheres of influence.

During this session, you will be engaging in facilitated conversations and exercises. Out of respect for your colleagues, we ask that you be fully present for the entire duration of all sessions and have your video on (you are welcome to use a virtual background). We do not recommend attending this session by only calling in if it can be avoided. You may wish to find as quiet and private a space as possible – headphones are also helpful. 

1:00pm - 2:00pm
