Drive Systems for Photonic Bandgap (PBG) Accelerators
- SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), Menlo Park, CA (United States)
Since the first discussions of photonic band gap (PBG) structures, there have been very few practical applications considered even in the telecom field. Presumably, this is because of a lack of knowledge of how to proceed or how they might be used. Very serious concerns on how robust they might prove under all the varied operating conditions that might arise especially over long distances, not to mention the perceived costs and difficulties with their fabrication, even though there were many intriguing possibilities that should occur to almost anyone on first consideration. However, the differences between copper and plastic are difficult to overcome and this is especially true for accelerator applications.
