This article presents a comprehensive review of TOF-PES technology, its underlying principles, and its crucial role in attosecond metrology. The first part introduces the historical development of TOF methods, from early ion mass spectrometry to modern photoelectron applications, detailing key innovations such as energy and spatial focusing, magnetic shielding, and delay-line detectors. The implementation of magnetic bottle spectrometers (MBES) is discussed in depth, emphasizing their advantages in wide-angle electron collection and enhanced energy resolution, achieved through trajectory collimation and magnetic gradient design.
We then focus on the application of TOF-PES in attosecond pulse characterization, particularly in the RABBITT (Reconstruction of Attosecond Beating by Interference of Two-photon Transitions) and attosecond streaking techniques. A broad array of experimental breakthroughs is reviewed, including ultrafast delay scanning, energy-time mapping through photoelectron modulation, and the use of MBES to resolve phase and amplitude of attosecond pulse trains with sub-50 attosecond precision. These advances demonstrate TOF-PES as a critical enabler of temporal phase reconstruction and group delay measurement across extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) spectral regimes.
Further sections explore the integration of TOF-based detection in time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES and ARTOF), enabling full 3D momentum-resolved detection without mechanical rotation or slits. The synergy between TOF and ultrafast laser sources facilitates simultaneous energy and momentum resolution across the Brillouin zone, with applications spanning topological materials, superconductors, and charge-density wave systems.
Finally, the review extends to momentum-resolved ultrafast electron-ion coincidence techniques. The use of TOF in COLTRIMS (Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy) and VMI (Velocity Map Imaging) is evaluated, highlighting its indispensable role in resolving correlated electron-ion dynamics, few-body fragmentation processes, and tunneling time delays on attosecond and even zeptosecond scales.
Overall, this work underscores the central role of TOF-PES in pushing the frontiers of ultrafast science. While current challenges include space-charge effects, detector response limitations, and data handling complexity, future advances in quantum detection, AI-driven trajectory correction, and high-repetition-rate light sources are poised to overcome these barriers. TOF-PES, through its continuous evolution, remains a critical platform for probing quantum dynamics at the fastest timescales known.-
