The laser-induced energy modulation of relativistic electrons in the BESSY II storage ring was studied by temporal and spectral characterization of femtosecond far infrared (THz) pulses being emitted due to the fact that dispersive elements convert the energy modulation into a longitudinal density modulation. Bunch shapes down to 3 ps and phase noise effects as well as the length of the femtosecond density modulation and its temporal decay were measured. The THz diagnostics is crucial for the operation of the recently commissioned undulator based "femtosecond slicing" source at BESSY.

At the BESSY II storage ring, a source of sub-100 fs x-ray pulses with tunable polarization and excellent signal-to-background ratio has been constructed in 2004. This source is based on laser-induced energy modulation ("femtoslicing") and subsequent angular separation of the short-pulse x-rays emitted by an elliptical undulator. The paper reviews the layout of the source and reports on new insights and experimental results obtained while commissioning the source for user operation.
