The optical synchronization group at DESY is operating and continuously enhancing their laser-based synchronization systems for various facilities which need femtosecond-stable timing. These include the free-electron lasers FLASH and the upcoming European XFEL as well as the electron diffraction machine REGAE and the plasma acceleration test facilities. One of the major upgrades under development is the migration of the entire electronic control hardware to the new MTCA.4 platform which was introduced as the new standard for accelerator control in many facilities worldwide. In this paper we present the applied modules and the topology of the new systems. Main advantages are a compact design with higher performance, redundancy, and remote management.

  For the low charge operation mode at the European XFEL, high bandwidth cone-shaped pickups were developed as a part of the Bunch Arrival-time Monitors (BAMs). The simulation showed that the signal parameters of interest, the signal slope and bandwidth are improved by more than a factor of six compared to the state of the art pickups. The pickups are installed at FLASH for verification. In this paper, time-domain measurements of the cone-shaped pickups at FLASH are presented. The pickup signal is recorded with a high bandwidth sampling oscilloscope. Two channel measurements are conducted with a single and a combined pickup signal in order to analyze the orbit and charge dependence of the pickup signal parameters. The measured time domain pickup signal wave form is compared to the CST PARTICLE STUDIO simulation.
