Abstract

We discuss recent developments and challenges of beam dynamics in Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA), for both high and low energy electron beams. Starting from ultra-low emittance nanotip sources the paper follows the beam path of a tentative DLA light source concept. Acceleration in conjuction with focusing is discussed in the framework of Alternating Phase Focusing (APF) and spatial harmonic ponderomotive focusing. The paper concludes with an outlook to the beam dynamics in laser driven nanophotonic undulators, based on tilted DLA grating structures.
