The generation of these pulses to be used in time-resolved experiments require synchronization techniques that can simultaneously lock all necessary components to a precision in the range of 1 fs only. To improve the experimental conditions at existing facilities and enable future development of seeded FELs, a new all-optical synchronization system at FLASH and XFEL was implemented, which is based on pulsed optical signals rather than electronic RF signals. In collaboration with DESY, Hamburg the all-optical synchronization system is used to ensure a timing stability on the 10 fs scale at XFEL. For a future ultra-low charge operation mode down to 1 pC at XFEL an overall synchronization of (5+1)fs r.m.s. or better is necessary. This contribution presents a new concept for a ultra-wideband pick-up structure for beampipe diameters down to 10 mm for frequencies up to 100 GHz or higher and at the same time providing sufficient output signal for the attached EOMs. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland SP - 368 EP - 370 KW - pick-up KW - laser KW - electron KW - FEL KW - free-electron-laser DA - 2019/11 PY - 2019 SN - "" SN - 978-3-95450-210-3 DO - doi:10.18429/JACoW-FEL2019-WEP019 UR - http://jacow.org/fel2019/papers/wep019.pdf ER -
