Abstract
A significant advance in intraundulator electron‐beam diagnostics has recently been demonstrated based on coherent optical transition radiation (COTR) imaging. We find signal strengths from a microbunched beam in a UV‐visible free‐electron laser to be several orders of magnitude higher than that of incoherent optical transition radiation. In addition we report that the far‐field images of COTR interferograms carry information about beam size and asymmetry, divergence, and pointing.
