Dielectric-lined waveguides (DLW) are becoming more popular for beam driven acceleration applications. An experiment to demonstrate beam-driven acceleration using a slab-symmetric dielectric-lined waveguide driven by a flat beam is in preparation at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab. In this paper we characterize the structure using a THz pulse obtained from optical rectification using an amplified laser pulse. After propagation through the DLW structure, the THz pulse is analyzed using a Michelson interferometer and single-shot electro-optical imaging. Data for various gap size will be presented.

Dielectric-lined waveguides (DLW) are becoming more popular for beam driven acceleration applications. An experiment to demonstrate beam-driven acceleration using a slab-symmetric dielectric-lined waveguide driven by a flat beam is in preparation at the Advanced Superconducting Test Accelerator (ASTA) at Fermilab.
