Temporal broadening in femtosecond photoelectric emission of single electrons. A laser pulse (violet) impinges on a metal cathode (red). Photoelectrons (black arrows) are generated with statistical distributions of directions and velocities. The electron pulses (blue) are temporally broadened as a result of the different trajectories of individual electrons.
