  The Radiation Source ELBE at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf is undergoing an extension to offer capacity for various applications. The extension includes the setup of a THz-beamline with a dedicated laboratory and a beamline for electron-beam - high-power laser interaction. The current synchronization scheme offers stability on the picoseconds level. For pump-probe experiments using optical lasers, the desired synchronization between the pump and the probe pulse should be on the femtosecond scale. In the future there will be an optical synchronization system with a pulsed fiber laser as an optical reference. The laser pulses will be distributed over stabilized fiber links to the remote stations. It is planned to install EOM-based beam arrival time monitors (BAMs) in order to monitor the bunch jitter and to establish a beam-based feedback to reduce the jitter. Besides that, the timing system has to be revised to generate triggers for experiments with low repetition rate, two electron guns (thermionic DC, superconducting RF) and several lasers. The Poster will show the possible layout of the future Timing and Synchronization System at ELBE.
