State of the art XUV-light and X-Ray light sources like FLASH or the planned European XFEL produce light pulses with durations down to a few femtoseconds. To fully exploit the experimental opportunities offered by these light pulses, synchronization of the FEL facility on the same time scale is required. To meet these high demands, which can not be fulfilled by conventional, coaxial RF distribution schemes, at different laboratories, optical synchronization systems are developed. At FLASH, a prototype system consisting of a mode-locked, Er-doped fiber laser, two fiber links which are stabilized by optical cross-correlation to sub-10 fs, and two electro-optical bunch arrival time monitors with resolutions below 10 fs has been installed and tested recently. We report on our experience with the system and describe its use for an intra bunch train arrival time feedback with which we could improve the arrival time stability of the electron bunches from above 200 fs for the unstabilized case to 40 fs with the feedback active.
