	J.C. McNeur, J.B. Rosenzweig, G. Travish, J. Zhou UCLA, Los Angeles, USA R.B. Yoder Manhattanville College, Purchase, New York, USA
	Funding: US Defense Threat Reduction Agency A micron-scale dielectric-based slab-symmetric accelerator is currently being designed and fabricated at UCLA. This Micro-Accelerator Platform (MAP) accelerates electrons in a 800nm wide vacuum gap via a resonant accelerating mode excited by a side-coupled optical-wavelength laser. Detailed results of particle dynamics and field simulations are presented. In particular, we examine various methods of achieving net acceleration and particle stability. Additionally, structural designs that produce accelerating fields synchronous with both relativistic and sub-relativistic electrons are discussed.

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Grant no. HDTRA1-09-1-0043. The Micro-Accelerator Platform is a laser powered particle acceleration device made from dielectric materials. Its main building blocks, distributed Bragg reflectors and nanoscale coupling slots are fabricated using cutting-edge nanofabrication techniques. In this report, a prototype device will be presented, and technical details with fabrication will be discussed. Optical property of the DBR films is measured by ellipsometry, and film surface roughness is measured using profilometer. In addition, a few remaining challenges with manufacture of this device will be discussed.
