| Abstract |
Novel acceleration structures (e.g. dielectric laser accelerators [DLAs]*) powered by lasers have the potential to greatly reduce the footprint and cost of both industrial linacs and colliders. As these devices have dimensions comparable to optical wavelengths, they require injection of a sub-micron-scale electron bunch to generate high-quality output beams, which are well beyond the capability of conventional rf photocathodes. Photoexcitation and field emission from an array of nanotips, followed by further acceleration and focusing, is a promising approach to achieving the requisite small beam sizes for successful injection. Pyroelectric crystals can provide electrostatic fields of sufficient magnitude and uniformity to enable emission and acceleration. We present an initial design for a low-energy injection module using the accelerating electrostatic fields provided by pyroelectric crystals. The approach is modeled numerically and supported by direct benchtop measurements of pyroelectric fields from a 2-crystal array.
