Intracycle interference in the interaction of laser and electron beams

A high-energy electron beam coupled to an optical field experiences a quantized energy modulation by multiples of the photon energy, originating from the temporal periodicity of the optical field by virtue of intercycle interference. Here we investigate the quantum interference occurring at shorter...
