Probing the electromagnetic response of dielectric antennas by vortex electron beams

Focused beams of electrons, which act as both sources and sensors of electric fields, can be used to characterize the electric response of complex photonic systems by locally probing the induced optical near fields. This functionality can be complemented by embracing the recently developed vortex el...
