Optical scale dielectric structures offer a promising medium for high-gradient, compact, low-cost acceleration of charged particles. An experimental program is underway at the SLAC E163 facility to demonstrate acceleration in photonic bandgap structures driven by short laser pulses. We present initial experimental results, discuss structure and experimental design, and present first estimates of achievable gradient.
