Abstract :
A streak camera provides a direct and convenient way to measure bunch lengths in the millimeter and submillimeter range. At the TESLA Test Facility (TTF) a streak camera with a subpicosecond resolution is in operation. A bunch compressor is used to produce bunch lengths down to 250 μm for the operation of the TTF free electron laser. Bunch length measurements are presented and compared with simulations
