A dedicated optics with a low momentum compaction factor is used at the ANKA storage ring to reduce the bunch length to generate coherent synchrotron radiation (CSR). A double sweep streak camera is employed to determine the bunch length and shape for different optics and as a function of the beam current. Measurements of the longitudinal bunch profile have been performed for many different momentum compaction factors and various bunch currents. This paper describes the set up of the streak camera experiments and compares the measured bunch lengths to theoretical expectations.
