Abstract :
Electron field emission properties of a sharp gold tip under continuous-wave laser irradiation at the plasmon-resonant wavelength are investigated. The emission-area is strongly confined under illumination when the optical electric field is parallel to the emitter shank, and the optical modulation of the emission current is demonstrated in this investigation.
