	A beam position monitor with a large horizontal aperture for use in dispersive sections of FLASH magnetic chicanes will be installed in October 2006. It has a horizontal range of 13 cm and a resolution requirement of better than 10 microns. A stripline design mounted perpendicularly to the the electron beam direction is used to provide broadband electrical pulses traveling in opposite directions, the phases of which give a measure of the beam position. The phase measurement will be accomplished through an optical method developed for a beam arrival time monitor. Results from simulation and recent beam arrival-time measurements will be used to justify expectations for the BPM performance.

	The stability of free-electron lasers and experiments carried out in pump-probe configurations depends sensitively on precise synchronization between the photo-injector laser, low-level RF-systems, probe lasers, and other components in the FEL. A measurement of the jitter in the arrival-time of the electron bunch with respect to the clock signal of a master oscillator is, therefore, of special importance. For this task, we propose an arrival-time monitor based on a beam pick-up with more than 10GHz bandwidth which permits measurements in the sub 100 fs regime. The RF-signal from the beam pick-up is sampled by an ultra-short laser pulse using a broad-band electro-optical modulator. The modulator converts the electron bunch arrival-time jitter into an amplitude modulation of the laser pulse. This modulation is detected by a photo detector and sampled by a fast ADC. By directly using the laser pulses from the master laser oscillator of the machine, any additional timing jitter is avoided. In this paper we present the layout of the system and first experimental results.
