Description

The experimental setup that allows for the observation of energy gain of electrons interacting with Dielectric Laser Accelerators (DLAs) is reviewed. Moreover, recent results, including acceleration due to electron interaction with third, fourth and fifth spatial harmonics of a nanostructured grating are discussed and an extended outlook is given.
