  In this paper, we discuss bunch length measurement based on coherent transition radiation for 10s femtosecond electron bunches with of several MeV energy and several pC charge. The ultrashort bunch length is obtained by velocity bunching using a compact dual slot resonantly coupled linac located after an RF photoinjector. Strong focusing with a solenoid is required to enhance the radiation generation. Filters are used to reconstruct coherent transition radiation spectrum. The transverse and longitudinal form factors are also studied with simulation.

  We investigate the effect of surface plasmonic optical field enhancement on multiphoton emission from a metallic photocathode. In a previous experiment *, two orders of magnitude increase in charge yield was obtained using a slightly off resonance nanohole array plasmonic structure. In a new attempt, a nanohole structure will be fabricated, using focused ion beam milling, such that the resonance wavelength is at 800 nm, the central wavelength of the photoinjector driver laser pulse. The charge yield is expected to increase dramatically compared to the charge yield from previous nanostructure. We will also present optical characterization of the nanostructures as well the beam characteristics (intrinsic emittance and bunch length) from this nanostructured photocathode.
