In order to extend the parameter range of FLASH towards shorter electron pulses down to a few fs SASE pulses, shorter bunches with very small charges of a few tens of picocoulombs are necessary directly at the photo injector. Therefore a new injector laser delivering pulses of 1 to 5 ps has been installed and commissioned. The influence of the laser parameters on the electron beam was studied theoretically. In this paper we discuss the required laser beam diagnostics and present measurements of critical laser and electron beam parameters.

The currently installed Bunch Arrival time Monitors (BAMs) at the Free electron LASer in Hamburg (FLASH) achieved a time resolution of less than 10 fs for bunch charges higher than 500 pC. In order to achieve single spike FEL pulses at FLASH, electron bunch charges down to 20 pC are of interest. With these BAMs the required time resolution is not reachable for bunch charges below 500 pC. Therefore new pickups with a bandwidth of up to 40 GHz are designed and manufactured*. The signal evaluation takes place with a time-stabilized reference laser pulse train which is modulated with an Electro-Optical intensity Modulator (EOM). The new BAM system also requires new EOMs for the electro-optical frontend. The available selection of commercial EOM candidates for the new frontend is very limited. In this paper we present a comparison between different EOM candidates for the new electro optical frontend.
