Another straight-forward method is to construct an 'intensity interferometer' utilizing a coincidence detector to record simultaneous photon arrival events. In this configuration, visible SR light is passed through a narrow bandpass filter followed by a small pinhole to generate a stream of single-mode monochromatic wavepackets. As the interferometer delay is scanned across an electron bunch, two-photon events occurring within the longitudinal coherence time of the light cause a reduction in the measured coincidence rate. The resulting autocorrelation of the optical pulse duration reveals the electron bunch length, independent of synchrotron oscillation motion. In this paper we comment on the theory and report on preliminary measurements carried out at SPEAR3.
