| abstract: | A dielectric, slab-symmetric structure for generating and accelerating low-energy electrons has been under study for the past two years. The resonant device is driven by a side-coupled laser and is configured to maintain field profiles necessary for synchronous acceleration and focusing of nonrelativistic particles. Intended applications of the structure include the production of radiation for medical treatments, imaging, and industrial uses. Results from 3D simulation of the structure geometry and its resonant properties are presented here. |

| abstract: | We describe a resonant laser-powered structure, measur- ing 1 mm or less in every dimension, that is capable of generating and accelerating electron beams to low ener- gies ( ∼ 1–2 MeV). Like several other recently investigated dielectric-based accelerators, the device is planar and res- onantly excited with a side-coupled laser; however, exten- sive modifications are necessary for synchronous accelera- tion and focusing of nonrelativistic particles. Electrons are generated within the device via a novel ferroelectric-based cathode. The accelerator is constructed from dielectric ma- terial using conventional microfabrication techniques and powered by a 1-μm gigawatt laser. The electron beams pro- duced are suitable for a number of existing industrial and medical applications. |
