	The concept of proton-driven plasma wakefield acceleration has recently been proposed as a means of accelerating a bunch of electrons to high energies with very high gradients, and a demonstration experiment (AWAKE) at CERN is now under development. For this a clear understanding of the temporal and spatial modulation of the proton driver bunches after propagating the plasma channel is essential. A single-shot electrooptical sampling system using dispersive Fourier-transform exploiting transverse coherent transition radiation* is proposed here to determine the bunch modulation and field properties in the frequency domain. Frequencies up to the terahertz region with a resolution of less than 10 GHz are measurable. The system with a closed optical fiber path is based on a semiconductor laser source to achieve easy handling and robustness. The principle idea, estimations of the required sensitivity, and first experimental results are presented. * Pukhov, A. et al. Phys. Rev.ST Accel. Beams 15 (2012)
