A directional, ultrafast and integrated few-photon source utilizing the interaction of electron beams and plasmonic nanoantennas

The possibility of using plasmonic nanoantennas in interaction with electron beams to form a wideband few-photon source is demonstrated here using numerical investigations. The generated photons are guided inside a waveguide, which is coupled to the nanoantennas. Using two replicas of a nanoantenna...
