The SASE process in Free Electron Lasers mainly depends on time-sliced parameters of charge density, energy spread and transverse emittance. At the VUV-FEL at DESY, electron bunches are compressed longitudinally in two magnetic chicanes in order to achieve high peak currents. The compression causes considerabe variations in slice emittance along the bunches. The vertically deflecting rf-structure LOLA, which is in operation at the VUV-FEL since early 2005, allows to resolve longitudinal variations in horizontal slice width for single bunches. The horizontal slice emittances can be determined by additionally varying the strengths of the quadrupoles upstream of LOLA. Results of slice emittance measurements using different bunch compression schemes are presented.

To initiate the lasing process in SASE-based Free Electron Lasers, electron bunches with high peak currents are necessary. At the VUV-FEL at DESY, high peak currents are produced by bunch shortening in magnetic chicanes induced by a linear energy-time gradient. The residual uncorrelated time-sliced energy width after compression is a crucial parameter for the lasing process. The final energy-time correlation provides important information about the compression process. This paper presents a measurement of slice energy spread and energy-time correlation using a vertically deflecting rf-structure (LOLA). The structure allows to map the time delay of bunch slices to the vertical axis of a screen. After dispersing the bunches horizontally with a dipole, the energy-time correlation can be directly obtained in a single shot measurement. Results for different bunch compression schemes are presented. The measured bunch length in case of a non-compressed beam is compared to streak camera measurements.
