AB - Free Electron Lasers (FEL) are one of the most brilliant light sources in the world and their unique properties are driving worldwide research in understanding and improving them. Numerous papers have already been published describing the output of the FEL in terms of coherence and bandwidth. In this contribution, however, we focus on how the coherence evolves along the FEL undulator and on what factors influence it the most. Using Genesis^{−1}.3* we have been able to follow and record the light field as it is being produced in the undulator. Our analysis method takes advantage of the extensively studied double pinhole experiment and uses the principles behind it to create a tool for extracting coherence information from the radiation field. We will present the scope, limitations and advantages of these virtual experiments as well as an application on an example FEL, to showcase what kind of information can be extracted using this method.
