  4. Electro-Optic Bunch Diagnostic Delay Multi-Shot Laser e-Beam E-Field Single-Shot Laser ZnTe • Uses Pockels-effect to detect electric field E of Coulomb field or THz radiation with fs laser. • Birefringence in <110> cut ZnTe with E-field and laser polarization  to [001] axis • Detect change in laser polarizationwith l/4 waveplate and analyzer. • Signal asymmetry A between linear polarization states gives phase change.

  5. Experimental Setup Laser Electrons • Constants:l= 800 nm n0 = 2.83r41= 4 pm/V e = 10l = 0.5 mm • Dj = 90o at 170 kV/cm

  6. Single Shot Time Calibration • Ti:Sa chirped to 6 ps. • e-beam ~1ps FWHM. • Laser delay changed from 0.5 to –1.0 mm • Strong modulation in spectrum from uncoated ZnTe crystal. • Average of 50 single shot spectra. • Charge from Coulomb field lower than ‘real’ charge of 250 pC. Ds = 0.5 mm, Q = 130 pC Ds = 0 mm, Q = 80 pC Ds = -0.5 mm, Q = 125 pC Ds = -1.0 mm, Q = 130 pC

  7. Time resolution • Minimum THz pulse length with 6 ps, 6 nm chirped laser • Distance e-beam/laser (850 µm) • Monochromator (1800/mm) grating is 30 fs. • Coherence length in ZnTe (500 µm thick) is 200 fs. • Measured length of 1.6 ps dominated by spectral distortion and confirmed by simulation.

  9. THz Pulse Field Characterization • 80 µJ CTR pulse observed at DUV-FEL. • E-beam 700 pC, 100 MeV, 150 (???) fs rms. • Measure spatial-temporal electric field distribution with EO sampling. • Understand relay and focusing of CTR. • Compare with CTR simulation code. • Compare with bolometer measurement.

Image Processing for Field Measurement -2 100 -1 200 Pixels Vertical (mm) 0 300 1 400 2 100 200 300 400 500 600 -2 -1 0 1 2 Pixels Horizontal (mm) • Use compensator waveplate to detect sign of polarization change. • Reference IR (left) and Signal IS (right) obtained simultaneous. • Rescale and normalize both. • Calculate asymmetry A of Signal. • Subtract asymmetry pattern w/o THz. A = 2IS/IR - 1

  13. Time Dependent Measurement • Use ‘mildly’ compressed bunch of 500 fs rms and 300 pC to get both 0-phasing and electro-optic measurement. • Temporal scan by varying phase of accelerator RF to both sample and cathode laser. • Approximately equivalent to varying delay between both lasers but much faster and computer controlled. • Measured to be 1.2 ps/degree.

  16. Simulation of CTR Propagation • Decompose radiating part of coulomb field in Gauss-Laguerre modes. • Calculate transmission amplitude and phase through experiment for THz spectral range. • Use bunch form factor to reconstruct radiation field in time and space. • Example: 300 pC, 300 fs 30 mm 20 ps

  25. Summary and Outlook • Simple single shot chirped EO setup sufficient for jitter measurement. • Jitter of 170 fs equal to low-level rf/laser jitter and estimates from HGHG. • Enables noninvasive laser/e-beam synchronization-feedback. • Ultrafast EO measurement requires time-domain method. • High intensity THz pulses up to 1 MV/cm field strength from CTR. • CTR simulation, pulse energy and electro-optic measurement in resonable agreement. • Extract THz to accessible user station for various applications. • Use time-domain single-shot EO method and apply to THz from modulated electron beam.
