Laser wakefield accelerators (LWFA) feature unique electron bunch characteristics, namely micrometer beam size with duration ranging from a few fs to tens of fs. Precise knowledge of the longitudinal profile of such ultra-short electron bunches is essential for the design of future table-top x-ray light-sources. Our broadband, single-shot spectrometer combines the coherent transition radiation (CTR) spectrum in UV/VIS, near-IR and mid-IR. Our fully calibrated spectrometer is capable to characterize electron bunches with charges as low as 1 pC and resolve time-scales from 0.4 to 40 fs. In addition, complementary data on the transverse bunch profile is provided by simultaneously imaging the CTR in the far- and near-field. We present recent experimental results on electron bunch profiles and peak currents of different LWFA injection mechanisms. Furthermore, we present single-shot CTR imaging and interferometry data from electron bunches. We combine near field (NF) and far field (FF) imaging of CTR from a foil just outside the accelerator to determine the transverse structure of micro-bunched portions of the beam.
