A noninvasive technique to determine a sub-mm length of electron bunches (rms < 100 um) based on a measurement of the coherent Cherenkov radiation (CChR) spectrum in THz range is proposed. CChR is generated when electron bunch moves in a vacuum near dielectric target. If the optical properties and geometry of a target are chosen in order to achieve a low absorption with a dispersion allowing expanding the Cherenkov cone, such target may be considered as the «natural Cherenkov prism». We demonstrated a feasibility of using of CsI prism for measurement of a bunch length in the range 50-200 um for Lorentz factor = 100. We also measured CChR power from Teflon target generated by the 6.1 MeV bunched electron beam with bunch rms length 1.2 mm and compared it with coherent diffraction radiation one for identical conditions. CChR seems to be a promising radiation mechanism for a new beam diagnostics technique.
