Several attempts were made to observe the modulation of an electron beam by a laser (the Schwarz-Hora effect). These were not successful and possible reasons are reported.
In the Schwarz-Hora effect, an electron beam passing through a crystal is modulated by laser light and then reproduces the light when it strikes a nonluminescent target. In this paper, the theory for the modulation process is developed using Born approximation to second order. A mechanism for light production at a nonresonant target is also discussed.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
