  In the ANKA storage ring it is possible to store bunches with RMS lengths of the order of 1 ps using a dedicated optics with reduced momentum compaction factor. For short bunch operation a beam energy of 1.3 GeV is chosen as a trade-off between low energy longitudinal instabilities and the increase in natural bunch length with energy. At this medium energy (the energy range of the ANKA storage ring is 0.5 to 2.5 GeV) steady state emission of coherent synchrotron radiation is observed by the ANKA-IR beamline below the threshold current defined by the micro-bunching instability. At lower beam energies where the natural bunch length is significantly shorter, bursts of coherent synchrotron radiation are detected in spite of the longitudinal oscillation. The far infrared spectrum is sensitive to the dynamics of the charge distribution generating the radiation. Measurements of the frequency spectrum of the infrared detector signal add information on bunch dynamics. This paper gives an overview of the studies performed at the ANKA storage ring.
