Description

Electro optic methods to modulate ultra-short laser pulses using the electric field of a relativistic electron bunch have been demonstrated by several groups to obtain information about the electron bunch length charge distribution. We discuss the merits of different approaches of transforming the temporal coordinate of the electron bunch into either the spatial or frequency domains. The requirements for achieving femtosecond resolution with this technique are discussed. These techniques are being applied to the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) and the Sub-Picosecond Photon Source (SPPS) currently under construction at SLAC
