  At the European XFEL, two undulator systems for hard and one for soft X-rays have been successfully put into operation. The SASE3 soft X-ray undulator system generates linearly polarized radiation in the horizontal plane. One of the requirements for extending the radiation characteristics is the ability to obtain different polarization modes. These include both right and left circular, elliptical polarization, or linear polarization at an arbitrary angle. For this purpose, a system consisting of four APPLE X helical undulators developed at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) is used. This paper presents the design parameters of the SASE3 undulator system after modifying it with the helical afterburner. It also describes the methods and the design solutions different from those used at PSI. The status and schedule of the project are introduced.

  The optical synchronization system for the European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser provides sub-10 femtosecond timing precision * for the accelerator subsystems and experiments. This is achieved by phase locking a mode-locked laser oscillator to the main RF reference and distributing the optical pulse train carrying the time information via actively propagation-time stabilized optical fibers to multiple end-stations. Making up roughly one percent of the entire European XFEL, it is the first subsystem to receive a large-scale data acquisition system [2] for storing not just hand-selected information, but in fact all diagnostic, monitoring, and configuration data relevant to the optical synchronization available from the distributed control system infrastructure. A minimum of 100 TB per year may be stored in a persistent archive for long-term health monitoring and data mining whereas excess data is stored in a short-term ring buffer for high-resolution fault analysis and feature extraction algorithm development. This paper describes scale, challenges and first experiences from the optical synchronization data acquisition system.

  At DESY an upgrade of the PETRA III synchrotron light source towards a fourth-generation, low emittance machine PETRA IV is currently being actively pursued. The realization of this new machine implies a new design of the timing and synchronization system since requirements on beam quality and controls will significantly change from the existing implementation at PETRA III. As of now the technical design phase of the PETRA IV project is in full swing. For the timing system the design process of the overall system as well as the evaluation of individual components has been started as of last year. Given the success of the at DESY developed MicroTCA.4-based timing system for the European XFEL accelerator it has been chosen to serve as a basis for the PETRA IV timing system developement as well. We present first design ideas of the major timing system hardware component, a MicroTCA.4-based AMC for distributing clocks, triggers and further bunch-synchronous information within the accelerator complex and to user experiments. First steps of an evaluation process for designing the AMC hardware are briefly illustrated.
