Abstract One of the advantages of relativistic electron beams with microbunching at UV to visible wavelengths is the potential to generate coherent optical transition radiation (COTR) at a metal foil for diagnostics purposes. A significant microbunching fraction of at least 10% is expected for the case of a seed laser at 257.5 nm copropagating with a 343-MeV electron beam through a modulator undulator (3.2 cm period) at the Linac Extension Area (LEA) at Argonne National Laboratory. Diagnostic plans have been made for the COTR based-characterization of the microbunched beam size (~100 microns), divergence (sub-mrad), microbunching fraction, spectrum, and bunch length (sub-ps), as well as coalignment of the laser pulse and electron beam as previously described**. For that case, COTR enhancements over OTR of more than seven million were calculated, and we expect a similar enhancement of coherent optical diffraction radiation (CODR). Thus, we propose the modification of the microbunching diagnostics station to support initial (CODR) experiments with beam transit through an aperture in a metal screen or near a metal edge at the second screen position of the interferometer. We would explore whether the coherence function for CODR provides a complementary beam size monitor and whether COTR and CODR interferences from the two interferometer screens provide divergence and pointing information.
