The coherent transition radiation emitted from an electron beam with higher-order spatial microbunching is analyzed. The characteristic angular and phase dependence can be used to identify the dominant bunching structure of such beams, which can be generated during the harmonic interaction in optical klystron modulators and free-electron lasers, and used as tunable sources of coherent light with orbital angular momentum.
