Description

Dielectric-laser accelerator (DLA) can provide accelerating gradients on the order of GV/m and is therefore considered a promising alternative to conventional radio-frequency accelerators. Extending DLA to relativistic electrons is still at an early stage and this research is important for achieving fully miniaturized accelerators. In this paper, we optimize dual-pillars DLA structures and evaluate their performance through numerical simulations. The results indicate energy gain for individual relativistic electrons as well as for a relativistic electron bunch. The simulation results will be used as guidance for the fabrication of the structures and the upcoming acceleration experiments.
