Abstract
A bunch-length measuring method has been developed to measure the subpicosecond electron pulses generated at the Stanford University Short Intense Electron Source (SUNSHINE) facility. This method utilizes a far-infrared Michelson interferometer to measure coherent transition radiation emitted at wavelengths longer than or equal to the bunch length via optical autocorrelation. To analyze the measurement, a simple and systematic way has also been developed, which considers interference effects on the interferogram caused by the beam splitter; hence the electron bunch length can be easily obtained from the measurement. This simple, low-cost, frequency-resolved autocorrelation method demonstrates subpicosecond resolving power that cannot be achieved by existing time-resolved methods.

Ultrabroadband terahertz source and beamline based on coherent transition radiation

TL;DR: In this paper, a beam transport channel for transition radiation (TR) was installed at the soft x-ray free-electron laser FLASH with the intention to guide a large fraction of the radiation to a laboratory outside the accelerator tunnel.

Bunch length measurement of picosecond electron beams from a photoinjector using coherent transition radiation

TL;DR: In this paper, the bunch length of an electron beam derived from the UCLA Saturnus photoinjector has been measured using a 45° CTR foil and a polarizing Michelson interferometer allowed measurement of the auto-correlation of the coherent transition radiation signal.

The relationship between dynamics and structure in the far infrared absorption spectrum of liquid water

TL;DR: In this paper, the absorption spectrum of liquid water is measured at a temperature ranging from 269 to 323 K. In the infrared spectrum, modes that are related to the local structure are observed.
