“…In this process, the conventional roles of waves and matter are interchanged, as the light acts as a diffraction grating for electrons, similar to the diffraction of electrons by a periodic lattice of crystals, first observed by Davisson and Germer [4]. Early attempts to measure the KDE were unsuccessful due to the lack of strong light sources [5,6]. With the development of the laser and the subsequent increase to ever higher intensities, electron-light interactions have been enhanced to a degree that enabled the observation of high intensity scattering [7] and diffraction [8,9] of electrons from a standing light wave, thus confirming the prediction of the original paper [1].…”

Kapitza–Dirac effect with traveling waves

et al. 2015

We report on the possibility of diffracting electrons from light waves traveling inside a dielectric medium. We show that, in the frame of reference which moves with the group velocity of light, the traveling wave acts as a stationary diffraction grating from which electrons can diffract, similar to the conventional Kapitza-Dirac effect. To characterize the Kapitza-Dirac effect with traveling light waves, we make use of the Hamiltonian Analogy between electron optics and quantum mechanics and apply the Helmholtz-Kirchhoff theory of diffraction.
