Description

To surpass limitations in sub-picosecond electro-optic electron bunch length diagnostics[1], we present an innovative detection method utilizing diversity schemes[2].

This approach employs simultaneous multi-output measurements of the chirped optical probe modulated by the electron bunch's field. We introduce a novel inversion algorithm that automatically recognizes and compensates for imperfections in the probe laser spectrum and chirp, enabling high-fidelity retrieval of bunch shapes, particularly for broadband THz radiation over a long temporal window.

Numerical simulations and initial experimental results demonstrate the system's potential for advanced, real-time bunch shape monitors at FLASH and EuXFEL, and can be extended to THz CTR or FEL based THz sources.
