Background:

Dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) uses silicon nanostructures to accelerate particles with ultrashort laser pulses.
Current DLA methods involve side-illumination, posing experimental challenges and limiting practical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

To demonstrate and verify an alternative, more practical DLA configuration.
To evaluate the performance of top-illuminated DLA structures.

Main Methods:

Experimental demonstration of top-illuminated silicon nanostructures for DLA.
Numerical simulations to verify the efficacy of the top-illumination approach.
Measurement of particle acceleration gradients.

Main Results:

Successful experimental demonstration and numerical verification of top-illuminated DLA.
Measured maximum acceleration gradient of 49.2 ± 3.1 MeV/m.
Top-illumination approach shows practical superiority over side-illumination.

Conclusions:

Top-illuminated DLA structures offer a more efficient and experimentally feasible alternative.
This method is expected to become the standard for nanophotonic particle acceleration.
The findings pave the way for more accessible and advanced particle acceleration technologies.
