Abstract

The optical synchronization system at the free electron laser in Hamburg (FLASH) has been in operation since 2008. Due to continuous improvement and several upgrades it has become an integral part of the machine operation and of pump-probe experiments as both rely on its performance. In summer 2013, a second FEL section, called FLASH II, which is using the same accelerator as FLASH will start its operation to increase the number of user experiments and to test new seeding schemes. This also requires a major extension of the synchronization system since new clients have to be supplied with a 10 fs-stable timing signal. Six additional stabilized fiber links and the according end stations like bunch arrival time monitors and laser synchronization setups will be installed.
