The energy gain in laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) is ultimately limited by dephasing, occurring when accelerated electrons outrun the accelerating phase of the wakefield. We apply quasi-phasematching, enabled by axially modulated plasma channels, to overcome this limitation. By matching the modulation period to the dephasing length, a relativistic electron can undergo energy gain over several dephasing Without multiple stages, the energy gain in these experiments is ultimately limited by electrons outrunning the accelerating phase of the wakefield or dephasing.The operating paradigm for recent nonlinear wakefield acceleration experiments is to set the distance over which the laser pulse energy is depleted by driving plasma waves to the dephasing length, the distance over which the accelerated electrons outrun the accelerating phase of the wakefield [10,12]. Because the dephasing length scales as
