| An accelerated bunch of electrons radiates coherently at wavelengths longer than or comparable to the bunch length. The first generation Bunch Compression Monitor (BCM) that is installed at the VUV-FEL applies this principle by measuring the total radiation intensity. For a better control on the degree of the compression, the radiated intensity in different bandwidth can be used. Dependent on the changes in the structure of the bunch, its radiation spectrum changes correspondingly. A new generation BCM uses wavelength dependent diffracting devices and multi-channel sensors to measure the signal in different wavelength channels simultaneously. This paper describes the construction of the first prototypes and experimental results in different short wavelength bands measured at the linac of the VUV-FEL at DESY, Hamburg. |
