Electron optics in the solid state promises new functionality in electronics through the
possibility of realizing nano-and micrometer-sized interferometers, lenses, collimators, and
beam splitters that manipulate electrons instead of light. Until now, however, such
functionality has been demonstrated exclusively in one-dimensional devices, such as in
nanotubes, and in graphene-based devices operating with pn junctions. In this work, we

Electron optics in the solid state promises new functionality in electronics through the possibility of realizing nano- and micrometer-sized interferometers, lenses, collimators, and beam splitters that manipulate electrons instead of light. Until now, however, such functionality has been demonstrated exclusively in one-dimensional devices, such as in nanotubes, and in graphene-based devices operating with junctions. In this work, we describe a novel mechanism for realizing electron optics in two dimensions. By studying a two-dimensional Fabry-Perot interferometer based on a resonant cavity formed in an InAs/GaSb double quantum well using junctions, we establish that electron-hole hybridization in band-inverted systems can facilitate coherent interference. With this discovery, we expand the field of electron optics in two dimensions to encompass materials that exhibit band inversion and hybridization.
