  Laser microfabrication allows high precision ablation of materials at sub-mm scale. When laser pulse length is shorter than about 10 picoseconds the heat affected zone is minimized and ablation occurs without melting. Work-pieces processed in this fashion exhibit less structural damage and are expected to have a higher damage thresholds. In this paper we will review several case studies of laser-microfabricated components for accelerator and x-ray applications. Ablated materials include diamond, quartz, tungsten, copper, YAG:Ce and silicon.

  Recently, gradients on the order of 1 GV/m level have been obtained in a form of a single cycle (~1 ps) THz pulses produced by conversion of a high peak power laser radiation in nonlinear crystals (~1 mJ, 1 ps, up to 3% conversion efficiency). Such high-intensity radiation can be utilized for charged particle acceleration. However, these pulses are short in time (~1ps) and broadband, therefore a new accelerating structure type is required. In this paper, we propose a novel structure based on focusing of THz radiation in accelerating cell and stacking such cells to achieve a long-range interaction required for an efficient acceleration process. We present an example in which a 100 microJoule THz pulse produces a 600 keV energy gain in 5 mm long 10 cell accelerating structure for an ultra-relativistic electron. This design can be readily extended to non-relativistic particles. Such structure had been laser microfabricated and appropriate dimensions were achieved.
