Generation and Characterization of Attosecond Micro-Bunched Electron Pulse Trains via Dielectric Laser Acceleration
Norbert Schönenberger, Anna Mittelbach, Peyman Yousefi +2
Dielectric laser acceleration is a versatile scheme to accelerate and control electrons with the help of femtosecond laser pulses in nanophotonic structures. We demonstrate here th…
Dielectric-laser electron acceleration in a dual pillar grating with a distributed Bragg reflector
Peyman Yousefi, Norbert Schönenberger, Joshua McNeur +3
We report on the efficacy of a novel design for dielectric laser accelerators by adding a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) to a dual pillar grating accelerating structure. This mi…
Ultrafast scanning electron microscope applied for studying the interaction between free electrons and optical near-fields of periodic nanostructures
M. Kozák, J. McNeur, N. Schönenberger +6
In this paper we describe an ultrafast scanning electron microscope setup developed for the research of inelastic scattering of electrons at optical near-fields of periodic dielect…
Silicon dual pillar structure with a distributed Bragg reflector for dielectric laser accelerators: Design and fabrication
Peyman Yousefi, Joshua McNeur, Martin Kozák +5
Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) have proven to be good candidates for miniaturized particle accelerators. They rely on micro-fabricated dielectrics which are able to modulate…
Transverse and longitudinal characterization of electron beams using interaction with optical near-fields
Martin Kozák, Joshua McNeur, Kenneth J. Leedle +9
We demonstrate an experimental technique for both transverse and longitudinal characterization of bunched femtosecond free electron beams. The operation principle is based on monit…
Elements of a dielectric laser accelerator
Joshua McNeur, Martin Kozák, Norbert Schönenberger +11
The widespread use of high energy particle beams in basic research, medicine and coherent X-ray generation coupled with the large size of modern radio frequency (RF) accelerator de…
Optical gating and streaking of free-electrons with attosecond precision
Martin Kozak, Joshua McNeur, Kenneth J. Leedle +6
In this paper we present proof of principle experiments of an optical gating concept for free electrons. We demonstrate a temporal resolution of 1.2+-0.3 fs via energy and transver…
Dielectric laser acceleration of electrons in the vicinity of single and double grating structures - theory and simulations
John Breuer, Joshua McNeur, Peter Hommelhoff
Dielectric laser acceleration of electrons close to a fused-silica grating has recently been observed (Peralta et al., Nature 503, 91 (2013); Breuer, Hommelhoff, PRL 111, 134803 (2…
