Abstract

Electron transmission diffraction patterns of thin monocrystal films are made visible on a nonluminescent target, if the films are illuminated by a 107 Wcm−2 argon laser irradiation. It appears that the 50-keV electrons pick up an oscillation of the light frequency within the crystal film and preserve this oscillation state until they reach the nonluminescent target.
