Abstract: Measurements of longitudinal bunch length of picosecond electron bunches have been performed by the femtosecond streak camera, the interferometer and the polychromator and their results were compared with one another. As regards the radiation, transition radiation and diffraction radiation were investigated through the diagnostics. As a result, the fine agreements between them within 200 fs were obtained and the reliability of the interferometer and the polychromator for the diagnostics of less than picosecond electron bunch were verified. Furthermore, nondestructive diagnostics for subpicosecond bunches was performed utilizing coherent diffraction radiation (CDR) interferometry.
