The interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with relativistic electrons in an undulator can yield very short and coherent pulses of higher harmonic radiation (coherent harmonic generation, CHG). Using the CHG facility at the synchrotron radiation source DELTA; we performed single-pulse diffraction and speckle experiments with femtosecond pulses of optical and UV light of wavelengths of 400 and 200 nm, respectively. The properties of the speckle patterns allow to deduce the coherence properties of the CHG radiation on a shot-to-shot basis. We find a high degree of spatial and temporal coherence of the CHG-generated radiation compared to the coherence properties of the spontaneous undulator radiation.
