Abstract
Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) is one of the advanced concepts for more compact accelerators. DLA gratings have apertures and period lengths within the range of optical wavelengths. Phase stability and wakefield effects are thus crucial for upcoming experiments with relativistic electrons. For this, we present a method to analytically calculate energy spectra for comparison with measurements in order to reconstruct the phase of injection into the DLA grating structure. Knowing the injection phase is important for both alignment and interpretation of measured data. Furthermore, we estimate the effects of wakefields on bunches which are coherently accelerated in a DLA. We are calculating the energy spectrum affected by the longitudinal wake by evaluating the analytical description numerically and give estimates for the transverse kicks of an off-centered injected electron bunch.
