MOCZB2 | Reference Distribution and Synchronization System for SwissFEL: Concept and First Results | laser, timing, detector, controls | 29 |
|
|||
The development of the reference distribution and synchronization system for SwissFEL is driven by ultra-high reference signal stability of SwissFEL LLRF-, beam arrival time monitors (BAM) and laser systems on one hand and cost issues, high reliability/availability and flexibility on the other. Key requirements are down to sub-10fs rms short term as well as sub-10fs peak-peak long term temporal stability for the most critical clients. The system essentially consists of an optical master oscillator with a fiber power amplifier and splitter, from which mutually phase locked optical reference pulses as well as RF reference signals are derived. The former are directly transmitted to the pulsed laser and BAM clients over group delay stabilized fiber-optic links whereas the latter are transmitted via newly developed group delay stabilized radio-over-fiber (RoF) links. Both s- and c-band reference signals use s-band RoF links, whereupon the c-band receiver incorporates an additional ultra-low drift frequency doubler. Furthermore, ultra-low jitter analog laser phase lock loops have been built and digital ones are under development. We will present concepts and first results of sub-10fs rms jitter and 20fs peak-peak long term drift subsystems, as e.g. RoF links, tested in the SwissFEL injector test facility. | |||

MOPD07 | New MTCA.4-based Hardware Developments for the Control of the Optical Synchronization Systems at DESY | laser, timing, controls, detector | 152 |
|
|||
Funding: This work has partly been funded by the Helmholtz Validation Fund Project MTCA.4 for Industry (HVF-0016) 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. |

MOPD19 | Bunch Arrival Time Monitor for PAL-XFEL | timing, pick-up, cavity, electronics | 191 |
|
|||
The X-ray Free Electron Laser project in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL-XFEL) requires high stability of bunch arrival time, and measurement resolution better than a few femtoseconds. The pickups of the electron Bunch Arrival time Monitor (BAM) for PAL-XFEL have been developed and simulated. The BAM pickups are based on an S-band monopole cavity with two coupling loops. The prototype BAM has been fabricated and installed downstream of the accelerating column at the Injector Test Facility (ITF) for PAL-XFEL. In this paper we will present the recent measurement results on the beam test of the BAM as well as a proposed strategy for developing the BAM for PAL-XFEL. | |||
