Dielectric Laser Accelerators as Accelerator Beamline Component and Ultrafast Diagnostic Elements — •Joshua McNeur, Martin Kozak, Norbert Schönenberger, Alexander Tafel, Ang Li, and Peter Hommelhoff — Department Physik, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Staudtstr. 1, 91058 Erlangen

By combining the strong fields of ultrashort laser pulses and the large damage thresholds of dielectrics, dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) have the potential to reduce the size and cost of extant accelerators dramatically. Acceleration and deflection have already been demonstrated in several proof of principle experiments in a single stage [1,2]. Here we discuss technical details of the extension of these experiments towards multiple-stage operation and ultrafast diagnostics [3,4]. Transverse deflection, focusing, and ultrafast gating via the DLA-electron interaction is presented.
