  1. The use of a plasmonics-enhanced photoconductive antenna (PCA) optically gated by a near infrared (NIR) pulse enables non-invasive time-of-arrival measurements of a low charge electron beam with respect to the NIR reference, achieving picosecond resolution. The measured signal values show the expected scaling with the beam charge and distance from PCA to the beam axis, as the PCA samples the electric field of the passing electron beam. We operate the device with an NIR spot size much larger than the PCA active-area, resulting in a very simple optical setup and alignment procedure, making the plasmonics-enhanced PCA a preferred alternative to more complex timing diagnostics for applications requiring non-invasive picosecond or sub-picosecond timestamping.
