  The usage of optical transition radiation for profile monitoring of non-relativistic electron beams is well known. In this contribution, we study the application of transition radiation in optical and GHz regime for non-relativistic ion beams. The light emitted from a metal target after ion beam irradiation consists of polarized transition radiation as well as significant amount of unpolarized photons. The dependence of light yield on beam current and comparison of measured transverse profiles with alternative devices is shown. Simulations and pilot measurements demonstrating the potential usage of coherent transition radiation in GHz regime for bunch-by-bunch longitudinal profile measurements is also discussed.
