A bunch length monitor for ultrashort (90 fs to 1 ps) electron bunches using a coherent synchrotron radiation detection techniques has been developed in a collaboration between the Thomas Jefferson National accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab) and the University of Virginia. The noninvasive, high-resolution, high-sensitivity, low-noise monitor employs a state-of-the-art {open_quotes}bandpass{close_quotes} GaAs Schottky whisker diode operated at room temperature. This letter presents the monitor{close_quote}s performance. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}
