The Schrödinger equation is applied to the photon-electron interaction to give a unified picture of the ponderomotive refraction effect, Kapitza-Dirac diffraction as well as near field energy gain and loss processes. Analytical solutions are studied for simple cases and the potential use of these phenomena in applications of electron microscopy is discussed.
