Coherent ultrashort THz pulses induced by a laser-electron interaction are routinely produced and observed at DELTA, a 1.5-GeV synchrotron light source operated by the TU Dortmund University. The turn-by-turn evolution of the radiation spectrum is known to shift to the sub-THz regime after the initial laser-electron interaction. Recently, an ultrafast YBCO-based THz detector has been permanently installed and a Schottky diode has been tested at the THz beamline. Measurements with these detectors showing the temporal evolution of the coherent signals after several revolutions are presented. Furthermore, the concept of a recently designed Fourier-transform spectrometer optimized for the sub-THz region is shown.

  Synchrotron radiation in the visible light range is a versatile diagnostics tool for accelerator studies. At the ANKA storage ring of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), we have a dedicated visible light diagnostics beamline and two additional beam ports close to the radiation's source point. The visible light diagnostics beamline hosts a time-correlated single-photon-counting unit to measure the bunch filling pattern and a streak camera for longitudinal diagnostics. Recently, the beamline has been extended with a fast-gated intensified camera to study transverse instabilities. The synchrotron light monitor ports were previously used for direct source imaging. Due to the diffraction limit the vertical beam size could not be resolved. One of the two ports has recently been equipped with a double-slit to allow for interferometric measurements of the vertical beam size. In this paper we give an overview of the different setup modifications and present first results.

ANKA, the synchrotron light source of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), is the first storage ring with a near-field single-shot electro-optical (EO) bunch profile monitor inside its vacuum chamber. Using the method of electro-optical spectral decoding (EOSD), the current setup made it possible to study longitudinal beam dynamics (e.g. microbunching) occurring during ANKA's low-alpha-operation with sub-ps resolution (granularity). However, the setup induces strong wake-fields spanning the distance between consecutive bunches which cause heat load to the in-vacuum setup for high beam currents. This heat load in turn leads to a laser misalignment thus preventing measurements during multi-bunch operation. Fortunately, the EOSD setup also allows us to directly study these wake-fields so simulation results can be compared to measurement data. This paper reviews possible changes of the setup's geometry with respect to a reduction of the wakefield effects.

  ANKA, the synchrotron light source at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), can be operated in different modes including the short bunch operation with bunch lengths compressed to a few picoseconds. In this mode, coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR) is emitted leading to beam instabilities. For gaining further insight into those processes, a setup based on a fast gated intensified camera was installed recently at the visible light diagnostics beamline of the ANKA storage ring. The experimental layout consists of an optical setup, which magnifies the image of the beam in the horizontal and demagnifies it in the vertical plane to obtain a projection of the horizontal beam shape, the camera itself and a fast scanning galvanometric mirror that sweeps this image across the sensor. This allows the tracking of the horizontal bunch size and position over many turns. In this paper we present the setup and show first measurement results.

  Interferometry is the quasi-standard for spectral measurements in the THz- and IR-range. The frequency resolution, however, is limited by the travel range of the interferometer mirrors. Therefore, a resolution in the low megahertz range would require interferometer arms of about 100 m. As an alternative, heterodyne measurements provide a resolution in the Hertz range, an improvement of 6 orders of magnitude. Here we present measurements done at ANKA with a VDI WR3.4SAX, a mixer that can be tuned to frequencies from 220 GHz to 330 GHz and we show how the bunch filling pattern influences the amplitude of specific frequencies.
