We present an experimental demonstration of ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) with THz-driven bunch compression and time-stamping that enables UED probes improved temporal resolution. Through longitudinal compression, a factor approximately four is achieved. Moreover, the time-of-arrival jitter between compressed pump laser pulse suppressed by three. Simultaneously, THz interaction imparts transverse spatiotemporal correlation on distribution, which we utilize to further enhance precision...

Visualizing ultrafast dynamics at the atomic scale requires time-resolved characterization with femtosecond temporal resolution. For fully relativistic electron bunch probes, existing techniques for single-shot diffraction (UED) are limited by achievable probe length, charge, and timing jitter.

Terahertz generation by optical rectification in LiNbO 3 using the tilted pulse front method is a powerful technique that routinely used to generate THz pulses with energies tens of micro-joules and field strengths above 1 MV/cm.
