Jörg Rossbach (Universität Hamburg, Hamburg)AbstractThe design of the VUV-FEL at DESY demands bunch lengths in the order of 50 fs and below. For the diagnostic of such very short bunches a transverse deflecting RF structure (LOLA) has been installed which streaks the beam according to the longitudinal distribution. Tests in the VUV-FEL yielded a rich substructure of the bunches. The most pronounced peak in the has a rms length of approximately 50 fs during FEL operation and below 20 fs FWHM at maximum compression. Depending on the transverse focusing a resolution well below 50 fs was achieved.

Figure 1: Schematic drawing of the VUV-FEL beam line. At the end of the accelerating section there is the transversely deflecting structure LOLA. It streaks the beam vertically so that on a downstream viewscreen the longitudinal profile of the bunches can be studied.
