Application of transfer matrix and transfer function analysis to grating-type dielectric laser accelerators: Ponderomotive focusing of electrons

The question of suitability of transfer matrix description of electrons traversing grating-type dielectric laser acceleration (DLA) structures is addressed. It is shown that although matrix considerations lead to interesting insights, the basic transfer properties of DLA cells cannot be described by...
