Abstract
Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy (ARPES) has been a major experimental technique in studying the electronic band structure of condensed matter systems. The traditional ARPES system resolves binding energies and in-plane electron momenta of electronic systems. It is of great scientific interest to further resolve the information of electron dynamics. In this thesis, I give a brief review of the theoretical and experimental backgrounds of the Femtosecond Time-Resolved ARPES technique. I report the construction of such a system, which consists of an ultrafast 1.5 eV pump beam and 6 eV probe beam, and a Scienta SES200 electron analyzer. An optical autocorrelator verifies that the duration of the pump laser pulse is 75 fs; An ARPES experiment on an Sb sample demonstrates that the angular resolution of the electron analyzer is less than 0:34 [degrees] and that the energy resolution is less than 50 meV.
