The success of short wavelength FELs depends on producing electron beams with low emittance and energy spread, and high peak current. These electron beam properties are largely determined by the beam physics at low energy in the injector, and by dynamics in the magnetic bunch compressor. Experimental studies from BNL's DUVFEL facility are presented that focus on measuring and understanding these subpicosecond beam properties in the longitudinal and transverse planes.
