“…In this review, we summarize the crucial technological developments and underlying physical principles of recently demonstrated microstructure dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs). Building on prior reviews [2][3][4][5][6][7], in the present work we emphasize recent results and potential near-term and future technological opportunities for these miniaturized electron linear accelerators.…”

Novel laser-powered accelerating structures at the miniaturized scale of an optical wavelength [Formula: see text] open a pathway to high repetition rate, attosecond scale electron bunches that can be accelerated with gradients exceeding 1 GeV/m. Although the theoretical and computational study of dielectric laser accelerators dates back many decades, recently the first experimental realizations of this novel class of accelerators have been demonstrated. We review recent developments in fabrication, testing, and demonstration of these micron scale devices. In particular, prospects for applications of this accelerator technology are evaluated.

“…The development of such facilities with a light pulse power of 109 W and more makes possible various applications of COz-lasers, which hitherto were beyond the reach. These are, first of all, the fundamental investigations into the processes of interaction of supershort light pulses with the substance [ 1-31, practical realization of the projects for the acceleration of charged particles by the light wave [4], the study of nonlinear selective photoprocesses in atoms and molecules [5], etc. Recently, driving picosecond generators with an emission wavelength of 10 pm have been developed at a number of scientific centers (National Research Council of Canada; Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA; M.V.…”
