The overall goal of photonics research is to understand and control light in new and richer
ways to facilitate new and richer applications. Many major developments to this end have …

Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) are fundamentally based on the interaction of photons
with free electrons, where energy and momentum conservation are satisfied by mediation of …

Using an 800 nm, 45 fs pulse-front-tilted laser we demonstrate a record 315 keV energy gain
in a dual grating dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) and average accelerating gradients of …

We demonstrate a silicon-based electron accelerator that uses laser optical near fields to
both accelerate and confine electrons over extended distances. Two dielectric laser …

A simple way of implementing a scalable laser-driven nanophotonic electron accelerator on
a chip is presented. The design requires only a single incident laser pulse and can be …

We propose an on-chip optical-power delivery system for dielectric laser accelerators based
on a fractal “tree-network” dielectric waveguide geometry. This system replaces …

The concept of dielectric-laser acceleration (DLA) provides the highest gradients among
breakdown-limited (nonplasma) particle accelerators and thus the potential of …

We discuss recent developments and challenges of beam dynamics in Dielectric Laser
Acceleration (DLA), for both high and low energy electron beams. Starting from ultra-low …

Particle accelerators are indispensable tools in both science and industry. However, the size
and cost of conventional RF accelerators limits the utility and scope of this technology …

Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) represents a promising approach to building miniature
particle accelerators on a chip. However, similar to conventional rf accelerators, an …
