Description
We present the latest experimental results using a dual grating dielectric laser accelerator (DLA) to modulate 6 MeV electrons. The structure is composed of two commercially available gratings, mounted independently with variable gap size controlled by 3 piezo motors. A 780 nm laser is used to drive the 800 nm periodic structure with gap size on the order of 1 um. These gratings are 4 mm long, enabling future long interaction experiments.
