Laser acceleration and deflection of 963 keV electrons with a silicon dielectric structure

Journal Article Leedle, Kenneth J. ; Fabian Pease, R. ; Byer, Robert L. ; ... - Optica

Radio frequency particle accelerators are ubiquitous in ultrasmall and ultrafast science, but their size and cost have prompted exploration of compact and scalable alternatives such as the dielectric laser accelerator. We present the first demonstration, to the best of our knowledge, of high gradient laser acceleration and deflection of electrons with a silicon structure. Driven by a 5 nJ, 130 fs mode-locked Ti:sapphire laser at 907 nm wavelength, our devices achieve accelerating gradients in excess of 200 MeV/m and suboptical cycle streaking of 96.30 keV electrons. Lastly, these results pave the way for high gradient silicon dielectric laser accelerators usingmore »« less

Numerically optimized structures for dielectric asymmetric dual-grating laser accelerators

Journal Article Aimidula, A. ; Cockcroft Institute, Daresbury Sci-Tech, Warrington WA44AD ; Physics Department, University of Liverpool, Liverpool ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Optical scale dielectric structures are promising candidates to realize future compact, low cost particle accelerators, since they can sustain high acceleration gradients in the range of GeV/m. Here, we present numerical simulation results for a dielectric asymmetric dual-grating accelerator. It was found that the asymmetric dual-grating structures can efficiently modify the laser field to synchronize it with relativistic electrons, therefore increasing the average acceleration gradient by ∼10% in comparison to symmetric structures. The optimum pillar height which was determined by simulation agrees well with that estimated analytically. The effect of the initial kinetic energy of injected electrons on the accelerationmore »« less

Silicon buried gratings for dielectric laser electron accelerators

Journal Article Chang, Chia-Ming ; Solgaard, Olav - Applied Physics Letters

This paper describes design and simulations of dielectric laser electron accelerators that achieve Gigavolt-per-meter (GV/m) accelerating gradients and wide electron channels (>1 μm). The accelerator design is based on a silicon buried grating structure that enables flexible phase synchronization, large electron channel fields, and low standing-wave ratio in the material. This design increases the accelerating gradients to more than double those of reported quartz grating accelerators, thereby reducing the input laser fluence by 60% for the same accelerating gradient. With a 100 fs pulsed laser, our silicon buried gratings can achieve a maximum gradient of 1.1 GV/m, indicating that these acceleratorsmore »« less

Demonstration of acceleration of relativistic electrons at a dielectric microstructure using femtosecond laser pulses

Journal Article Wootton, Kent P. ; Wu, Ziran ; Cowan, Benjamin M. ; ... - Optics Letters

Acceleration of electrons using laser-driven dielectric microstructures is a promising technology for the miniaturization of particle accelerators. Achieving the desired GV m^–1 accelerating gradients is possible only with laser pulse durations shorter than ~1 ps. In this Letter, we present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of acceleration of relativistic electrons at a dielectric microstructure driven by femtosecond duration laser pulses. Furthermore, using this technique, an electron accelerating gradient of 690±100 MV m^–1 was measured—a record for dielectric laser accelerators.

Asymmetric Dual-Grating Dielectric Laser Accelerator Optimization

Journal Article Crisp, Sophie ; Ody, Alexander ; Musumeci, Pietro - Instruments

Although hundreds of keV in energy gain have already been demonstrated in dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs), the challenge of creating structures that can confine electrons for multiple millimeters remains. We focus here on dual gratings with single-sided drive, which have experimentally demonstrated energy modulation numerous times. Using a Finite-Difference Time-Domain simulation to find the fields within various DLA structures and correlating these results with particle tracking simulation, we look at the impact of teeth height and width, as well as gap and offset, on the performance of these structures. We find a tradeoff between electron throughput and acceleration; however, wemore »« less
