Fu­ture col­lid­er ap­pli­ca­tions and pre­sent high-gra­di­ent laser plas­ma wake­field ac­cel­er­a­tors op­er­at­ing with pi­cosec­ond bunch du­ra­tions place a high­er de­mand on the time res­o­lu­tion of bunch dis­tri­bu­tion di­ag­nos­tics. This de­mand has led to sig­nif­i­cant ad­vance­ments in the field of elec­tro-op­tic sam­pling over the past ten years. These meth­ods allow the prob­ing of di­ag­nos­tic light such as co­her­ent tran­si­tion ra­di­a­tion (*) or the bunch wake­fields (**) with sub-pi­cosec­ond time res­o­lu­tion. Po­ten­tial ap­pli­ca­tions in shot-to-shot, non-in­ter­cep­tive di­ag­nos­tics con­tin­ue to be pur­sued for live beam mon­i­tor­ing of col­lid­er and pump-probe ex­per­i­ments. Re­lat­ed to our de­vel­op­ing work with elec­tro-op­tic imag­ing, we pre­sent re­sults on sin­gle-shot elec­tro-op­tic sam­pling of the co­her­ent tran­si­tion ra­di­a­tion from bunch­es gen­er­at­ed at the A0 pho­toin­jec­tor.
