  In laser illuminated dielectric accelerators (DLA) high acceleration
gradients can be achieved, due to high damage thresholds of the materials at
optical frequencies. This is a necessity in developing more compact particle
accelerator technologies. The Accelerator on a CHip International Program
funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is researching such devices.
Means to manipulate the beam, i.e. focusing and deflection, are needed for the
proper operation of such devices. These means should rely on the same
technologies for manufacturing and powering like the accelerating structures.
In this study different concepts for dielectric laser driven deflecting
structures are investigated via particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations and compared
afterwards. The comparison is conducted with respect to the suitability for
beam manipulation. Another interesting application will be investigated as a
diagnostic device for ultra short electron bunches from conventional
accelerators functioning like a radio frequency transverse deflecting cavity
(TDS).
