AB  - The LCLS x-ray free-electron laser at SLAC uses the third km of the original 3-km copper linac. We are now installing LCLS-II, a superconducting linac that replaces the first km. Two undulators, for hard and soft x rays, will be driven by bunches from either linac. One of the solutions developed at SLAC involves a pyroelectric detector, which converts the infrared emitted by the electron bunch into voltage by measuring fast changes in the temperature of the detecting crystal. Not only are the pyrodetectors used at SLAC but also a method with gap diodes. The radial electric field produced by the bunches leaks through a ceramic gap in the beampipe and is collected by a horn antenna and conveyed through a one millimeter waveguide. The waveguides act as a filter, only passing shorter wavelengths and a zero-bias Schottky diode measures the power. In both methods, a portion of the spectral energy emitted by the bunch is intercepted. After normalizing to differentiate between bunches of the same length with different charge, the detected signal is sensitive to only changes in bunch length. This poster discusses the mechanics and optics behind the LCLS-II bunch length monitors operations and plans for collaboration.
