Abstract

We study the rescattering of photoemitted electrons at aluminium needle tips. For various laser intensities we measure electron energy spectra to identify telltale features of strong-field rescattering, in particular a plateau with near-constant count rate and a high-energy cutoff. This rescattering process is used to investigate the geometry-dependent enhanced optical near-field at the apex of the aluminium tip. A large near-field enhancement, extracted from the spectral data, is supported by 3D finite-difference time-domain simulations. A systematic theoretical investigation of the near-field enhancement at aluminium tips shows a strong dependence on tip opening angle and radius of curvature.
