  This paper presents the results of experimental investigations of the fine and hyperfine spectral structures of the Novosibirsk free-electron laser (NovoFEL) and the compact free-electron laser of the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI FEL) by means of the optimal instruments, resonance Fabry-Perot interferometers. The very high coherence of the NovoFEL spectrum was measured in regimes with one pulse circulating inside its optical resonator (the coherence length is 7 km, and the relative width of the hyperfine structure lines is 2E-8) and with total absence of coherence between two circulating pulses, i.e. the fine structure. Sixty pulses circulate simultaneously inside the KAERI FEL optical resonator, and the measured coherence length on average covers ten pulses (the coherence length is 1 m; the relative width of the fine structure lines is 10-4).

Precise timing synchronization of an ultrafast electron diffraction facility is essential requirement for femtosecond resolution structure analysis. Recent studies of THz-based electron deflectors have enabled the timing drift measurement between ultrafast electrons and an optical pump beam with few femtosecond resolution [1]. In this work, we will introduce timing synchronization activities to suppress the drift of an electron beam. As timing drift of the electron beam originates from every sub-element, each timing drift contribution from RF transfer, RF-to-optical synchronization, and optical amplification is measured. Timing drift of RF transfer through coaxial cable, which exposed to temperature fluctuation, is actively stabilized from 2 ps to 50 fs by active feedback loop. Further additive drift from RF-to-optical synchronization is maintained below 100 fs. Also optical drift due to the regenerative amplifier, measured by optical correlator, is maintained below 20 fs over an hour. This work allows ultrafast electron diffraction system to operate with less drift correction procedure and increased user availability.
