Funding: This work was supported by the joint Russian-Chinese grant (RFBR N 110291177 and NSFC N 11111120065) and partially by the Program of Russian MES 'Nauka' and Chinese NSFC grant N 11175240. Reliable and precise methods for non-invasive diagnostics of sub-picosecond electron bunches are required for new accelerator facilities (FEL, LWFA, et al.). Measurements of spectral characteristics of coherent radiation generated by such bunches using interferometer allow to determine a bunch length [1]. The interference pattern obtained by two diffraction radiation (DR) beams from two shifted plates (double DR target) may be used instead an interferometer [2]. Recently the coherent DR interferometry scheme at the SINAP accelerator facility was established [3]. Here we report the results of comparing the first measurement from such a technique with the measurement from Michelson interferometer. The parameters of fs linac are described in [4]. The DR target was consisted of two plates made from aluminum foil. The pyroelectric detector SPI-D-62 was used. The analysis of results from two techniques gives the same estimated bunch length about 660 fs (0.2 mm), which confirms the ability of the proposed technique for non-invasive bunch length measurements in the sub-picosecond range without a complicated scheme like Michelson interferometer or similar. 1.
