	Instabilities in beam and bunch parameters, such as bunch charge, beam energy or changes in the phase or amplitude of the accelerating field in the RF cavities can be the source of noise in the various secondary sources driven by the electron beam. Bunch charge fluctuations lead to intensity instabilities in the super-radiant THz sources. The primary electron beam driving the light sources has a maximum energy of 40 MeV and a maximum current of 1.6 mA. Depending on the mode of operation required, there are two available injectors in use at ELBE. The first is the thermionic injector, which is used for regular operating modes and supports repetition rates up to 13 MHz and bunch charges up to 100 pC. The second is the SRF photo-cathode injector, which is used for experiments that may require lower emittance or higher bunch charges of up to 1 nC. It has a maximum repetition rate of 13 MHz, which can be adjusted to lower rates if desired, also including different macro pulse modes of operation. In this contribution, we will present our work in the pulse-resolved intensity measurement that allows for correction of intensity instabilities.

WEP003	Balanced Optical-Microwave Phase Detector for 800-nm Pulsed Lasers with Sub-Femtosecond Resolution	laser, timing, electron, operation	322

	Novel light-matter interaction experiments conducted in free-electron lasers, ultrafast electron diffraction instruments and extreme light infrastructures require synchronous operation of microwave sources with femtosecond pulsed lasers [1]. In particular, Ti:sapphire lasers have become the most common near-infrared light source used in these facilities due to their wide-range tunability and their ability to generate ultrashort pulses at around 800-nm optical wavelength [2]. Therefore, a highly sensitive optical-to-microwave phase detector operating at 800 nm is an indispensable tool to synchronize these ubiquitous lasers to the microwave clocks of these facilities. Electro-optic sampling is one approach that has proven to be the most precise in extracting the relative phase noise between microwaves and optical pulse trains. However, their implementation at 800-nm wavelength has been so far limited [3]. Here, we show a balanced optical-microwave phase detector designed for 800-nm operation based on electro-optic sampling. The detector has a timing resolution of 0.01 fs RMS for offset frequencies above 100 Hz and a total noise floor of less than 10 fs RMS integrated from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. [1] M. Xin, K. Shafak and F. X.

WEP015	Electro-Optical Bunch Length Detection at the European XFEL	laser, electron, photon, FEL	360

	The electro-optical bunch length detection system based on electro-optic spectral decoding has been installed and is being commissioned at the European XFEL. The system is capable of recording individual longitudinal bunch profiles with sub-picosecond resolution at a bunch repetition rate of 1.13MHz . Bunch lengths and arrival times of entire bunch trains with single-bunch resolution have been measured as well as jitter and drifts for consecutive bunch trains. In addition, we are testing a second electro-optical detection strategy, the so-called photonic time-stretching, which consists of imprinting the electric field of the bunch onto a chirped laser pulse, and then "stretching" the output pulse by optical means. As a result, we obtain is a slowed down "optical replica" of the bunch shape, which can be recorded using a photodiode and GHz-range acquisition. These tests are performed in parallel with the existing spectral decoding technique based on a spectrometer in order to allow a comparative study. In this paper, we present first results for both detection strategies from electron bunches after the second bunch compressor of the European XFEL.

WEP031	Timing Synchronization Activities for Drift-Free Operation of Ultrafast Electron Diffraction System at KAERI	electron, timing, laser, gun	385

	Funding: This work is funded by KAERI (Grant number: 525350-19) 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. [1] H.

	In this report we describe MCP-based radiation detector at FLASH2. Micro-channel plate (MCP) detects scattered radiation from a target (mesh). Use of different targets and geometrical positioning of the MCP plates provides control of photon flux on the detector. MCP detector covers the whole wavelength range of FLASH2 (from 2.x nm to 100 nm). Dynamic range spans from sub-nJ to mJ level (from spontaneous to saturation level). Relative accuracy of single-shot radiation pulse energy measurements in the exponential gain regime is about 1%. DAQ based software is under development which allows to perform cross-correlation of the SASE FEL performance with electron beam jitters. As a result, it is possible: (i) to organize efficient feedback for cancellation of machine jitters, and (ii) to use statistical techniques for characterization of SASE FEL radiation deriving such important quantities as gain curve (gain of the radiation pulse energy and its fluctuations along the undulator), radiation pulse duration, coherence time, and degree of transverse coherence. Relevant experimental results are presented in the paper.
