Following the lifespan of optical excitations from their creation to decay into photons is crucial in understanding materials properties. Macroscopically, techniques such as photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy provide unique information on photophysics with applications diverse quantum optics or photovoltaics. Materials and emission pathways are affected by nanometer scale variations directly impacting devices performances. However, they cannot be accessed, despite techniques,...

The synergy between free electrons and light has recently been leveraged to reach an impressive degree of simultaneous spatial spectral resolution, enabling applications in microscopy quantum optics. However, the required combination electron optics injection into spectrally narrow modes arbitrary specimens remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate microelectronvolt resolution with sub-nanometer probe photonic quality factors as high 104. We rely on mode matching tightly focused laser beam...

Thermal transport in nanostructures plays a critical role modern technologies. As devices shrink, techniques that can measure thermal properties at nanometer and nanosecond scales are increasingly needed to capture transient, out-of-equilibrium phenomena. We present novel pump–probe photon–electron method within scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) map temperature dynamics with unprecedented spatial temporal resolutions. By combining focused laser-induced heating synchronized...

Whispering-gallery mode resonators host multiple trapped narrow-band circulating optical resonances that find applications in quantum electrodynamics, optomechanics, and sensing. However, the spherical symmetry low field leakage of dielectric microspheres make it difficult to probe their high-quality modes using far-field radiation. Even so, local enhancement from metallic nanoparticles (MNPs) coupled can interface far bounded cavity modes. In this work, we study interaction between...

We have studied the excitonic properties of exfoliated tungsten diselenide (WSe$_2$) monolayers transferred to gold substrates using tunneling current in a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) operated air excite light emission locally. In obtained spectra, energies are independent applied bias voltage and resemble photoluminescence (PL) results, indicating that, both cases, is due neutral charged exciton recombination. Interestingly, electron injection rate, that is, current, can be used...

Electron-photon temporal correlations in electron energy loss (EELS) and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopies have recently been used to measure the relative quantum efficiency of materials. This combined spectroscopy, named Cathodoluminescence excitation spectroscopy (CLE), allows identification decay channels which are hidden average measurements. Here, we demonstrate that CLE can also be excitation's time. In addition, time as a function is accessed, for each electron-photon pair...

Ultra-fast transmission electron microscopy (UTEM) combines sub-picosecond time-resolution with the versatility of TEM spectroscopies. It allows one to study dynamics materials properties combining complementary techniques. However, until now, time-resolved cathodoluminescence, which is expected give access optical dynamics, was still unavailable in a UTEM. In this paper, we report cathodoluminescence measurements an ultrafast microscope. We measured lifetime maps, 12 nm spatial resolution...
