Current THz accelerators are limited by significant losses during transport of THz radiation from the generating nonlinear crystal to the electron acceleration structure. In addition, the spectral properties of high-field THz sources make it difficult to couple THz radiation into accelerating structures. Dielectric accelerator structures reduce these losses because THz radiation can be coupled laterally into the structure, as opposed to metallic structures where THz radiation must be coupled along the beam path. In order to utilize these advantages, we are investigating the optimization of THz accelerating structures for comparison between metallic and dielectric devices. These results will help to inform future designs of improved dielectric THz acceleration structures.
