  Schwinger's equations predict the angular- and spectral distribution of synchrotron radiation across a wide band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Using a visible-light diagnostic beam line, it is possible to characterize the electric field polarization state as a function of vertical observation angle and compare with theory. Complications include accounting for - and π-mode transmission factors at mirror surfaces and precise alignment of the polarizing optics with the principle beam axes. The Stokes parameters are measured and beam polarization ellipse reported.

  The electron beam size as measured using synchrotron light in a circular accelerator is influenced by the incoherent depth of field effect. This effect comes about due to the instantaneous opening angle of the emitted synchrotron radiation (SR) and the acceptance angle of the SR light monitor beamline. Measurements were made using a visible light interferometer at the visible light beamlines in three circular accelerators at ATF, SPEAR3 and AS. The first order spatial coherence of the beam was measured and from that the horizontal beam size was calculated. The data is compared with a theory of synchrotron radiation with and without the horizontal incoherent field depth effect.

  In the Linear Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at SLAC, the injector laser plays an important role as the source of the electron beam for the Free Electron Laser (FEL). The injector laser strikes a copper photocathode which emits photo-electrons due to photo-electric effect. The emittance of the electron beam is highly related to the transverse shape of the injector laser. Currently the LCLS injector laser has hot spots that degrade the FEL performance. The goal of this project is to use adaptive optics to modulate the transverse shape of the injector laser, in order to produce a desired shape of electron beam. With a more controllable electron transverse profile, we can achieve lower emittance for the FEL, improve the FEL performance and operation reliability. We first present various options for adaptive optics and damage test results. Then we will discuss the shaping process with an iterative algorithm to achieve the desired shape, characterized by Zernike polynomial deconstruction.
