  Synchronization of various components with fs stability is needed for the operation of free-electron-lasers such as FLASH or the European XFEL. One possibility to realize a high precision synchronization is to use a mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser as a master clock and to distribute ultra short laser pulses inside the machine using actively stabilized fiber links. In this paper we demonstrate the stabilization of a 300 m long fiber link with a self-aligned balanced cross-correlator using a single type II phase-matched PPKTP crystal. This approach allowed us to reduce the timing jitter added by the link to below 10 fs.
