Fig. 4. Demonstration of variable polarization. (a) Images on screen S1 for different polarization angles. The deflecting voltage was 85 MV for the polarization angles between 0 and 105 deg and 73 MV for the polarization angles between 120 and 180 deg. (b) Position of the beam centroid on a BPM placed downstream of the TDS. Each color represents a different direction of the streaking field with a polarization angle step of 5 deg and a full RF phase scan. The deflecting voltage was

Fig. 6. FEL power profile measurement. (a) Single-shot LPS images with lasing-on (left) and lasing-off (right) conditions. The horizontal and vertical scales are the same for both images. (b) Single-shot FEL power profile reconstruction. See text for more details. The horizontal and vertical scales are the same for all power profile plots.
