Resonant phase matching by oblique illumination of a dielectric laser accelerator

In dielectric laser-driven accelerators (DLA), careful tuning of drive-laser wavelength and structure periodicity is typically required in order to hit the resonant condition and match the phase…

Beam dynamics in dielectric laser acceleration

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 emittance nanotip sources…
