Pulse shaping techniques enable flexible controls over the longitudinal distribution of electron bunches emitted from the photocathode. While direct manipulation and measurement of an ultrashort pulse can be challenging in the time domain, both actions can be performed in the frequency domain. In this paper, we report the study and development of laser shaper and diagnostics at Argonne Wakefield Accelerator (AWA). Simulations of the shaping process for several sought-after shapes are presented along with the temporal diagnosis. Status of the experiment at the AWA facility is also discussed.
