Interactions between light and matter play an instrumental role in spectroscopy, sensing,
quantum information processing and lasers. In most of these applications, light is considered …

Dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) are fundamentally based on the interaction of photons
with free electrons, where energy and momentum conservation are satisfied by mediation of …

The concept of dielectric-laser acceleration provides the highest gradients among
breakdown-limited (nonplasma) particle accelerators. However, stable beam transport and …

Using an 800 nm, 45 fs pulse-front-tilted laser we demonstrate a record 315 keV energy gain
in a dual grating dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) and average accelerating gradients of …

A simple way of implementing a scalable laser-driven nanophotonic electron accelerator on
a chip is presented. The design requires only a single incident laser pulse and can be …

We demonstrate a laser-driven, tunable electron lens fabricated in monolithic silicon. The
lens consists of an array of silicon pillars pumped symmetrically by two 300 fs, 1.95 μ m …

The vanishingly small response of matter to light above ultraviolet frequencies makes the
manipulation of light emission at such frequencies challenging. As a result, state-of-the-art …

Although beam emittance is critical for the performance of high-brightness accelerators,
optimization is often time limited as emittance calculations, commonly done via quadrupole …

Water-window X-rays are crucial in medical and biological applications, enabling the natural-
contrast imaging of biological cells without external staining. However, water-window X-ray …

To be useful for most scientific and medical applications, compact particle accelerators will
require much higher average current than enabled by current architectures. For this …
