Description

At the KIT storage ring KARA (Karlsruhe Research Accelerator), a far-field electro-optical (EO) experimental setup to measure the temporal profile of the coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is implemented. Here, the EOSD (electro-optical spectral decoding) technique will be used to obtain single-shot measurements of the temporal CSR profile in the terahertz frequency domain. To keep the crucial high signal-to-noise ratio a setup based on balanced detection is under commission. Therefore, simulations are performed for an optimized beam path and the setup is characterized. In this contribution, the upgraded setup and first measurements are presented.
