Particle acceleration in dielectric microstructures powered by infrared lasers, or "dielectric laser acceleration" (DLA), is a promising area of advanced accelerator research with the potential to enable more affordable and higher-gradient accelerators for energy frontier science and a variety of other applications. DLA leverages well-established industrial fabrication capabilities and the commercial availability of tabletop lasers to reduce cost, with axial accelerating fields in the GV/m range. Desirable luminosities would be obtained by operating with very low charge per bunch but at extremely high repetition rates. And as a consequence of its unique operating parameter regime, coupling of the laser to the accelerator can potentially be in the 50\% range and with low beamstrahlung energy loss due at the interaction point, making DLA a promising approach for a future multi-TeV linear collider.
