Particle acceleration in dielectric laser-driven micro-structures, recently demonstrated at SLAC*, holds the promise of providing low-cost compact accelerators for a wide variety of uses. Laser-driven undulators based upon this concept could attain very short (mm to sub-mm) periods with multi-Tesla field strengths. And since dielectric laser accelerators (DLAs) operate optimally with optical-scale electron bunch formats, radiation production with high repetition rate (10s of MHz) attosecond-scale pulses is a natural combination. We present preliminary analysis of the harmonic field structure for a periodic undulator based on this concept. |
