Mode-locked lasers referenced to RF standards are commonly used as master oscillators, due to their superior stability and timing precision, depicting timing jitter in the attosecond range.[2] In this matter, one of the biggest challenges is to transfer the timing stability of mode-locked lasers to RF sources. Here, we compare and contrast two of the most common techniques used for laser-to-RF synthesis in FEL facilities: (i) RF signal extraction from the optical pulse train using photodiodes, and (ii) VCO-to-laser synchronization. Test setups are built to measure both the absolute phase noise of the generated RF signal and the relative timing jitter with respect to the mode-locked laser. Short-term timing jitter values varying between 10 and 100 fs are achieved for different test setups, while long term timing drift ranging to some hundreds of fs due to environmental influence are observed. 000429815 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6211$$a6211 - Extreme States of Matter: From Cold Ions to Hot Plasmas (POF3-621)$$cPOF3-621$$fPOF III$$x0 000429815 588__ $$aDataset connected to DataCite 000429815 693__ $$0EXP:(DE-H253)CFEL-Exp-20150101$$5EXP:(DE-H253)CFEL-Exp-20150101$$eExperiments at CFEL$$x0 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1029926$$aBerlin, Andrej$$b1 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1028096$$aCheng, Haynes$$b2 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1031158$$aDai, Anan$$b3 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1018897$$aDerksen, Johann$$b4 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1013198$$aKärtner, Franz$$b5$$udesy 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1025938$$aSchiepel, Philipp$$b6 000429815 7001_ $$0P:(DE-H253)PIP1017955$$aŞafak, Kemal$$b7 000429815 773__ $$a10.18429/JACOW-FEL2019-WEP004 000429815 8564_ $$uhttp://jacow.org/fel2019/papers/wep004.pdf 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.gif?subformat=icon$$xicon$$yOpenAccess 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000429815 8564_ $$uhttps://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/429815/files/wep004.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yOpenAccess 000429815 909CO $$ooai:bib-pubdb1.desy.de:429815$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1031157$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b0$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1029926$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b1$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1029926$$aExternal Institute$$b1$$kExtern 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1028096$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b2$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1028096$$aExternal Institute$$b2$$kExtern 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1031158$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b3$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1031158$$aExternal Institute$$b3$$kExtern 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)2008985-5$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1013198$$aDeutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron$$b5$$kDESY 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1013198$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b5$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1013198$$aExternal Institute$$b5$$kExtern 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1025938$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b6$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1025938$$aExternal Institute$$b6$$kExtern 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-H253)_CFEL-20120731$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1017955$$aCentre for Free-Electron Laser Science$$b7$$kCFEL 000429815 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-H253)PIP1017955$$aExternal Institute$$b7$$kExtern 000429815 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-621$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-620$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-600$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF3-6211$$aDE-HGF$$bForschungsbereich Materie$$lVon Materie zu Materialien und Leben$$vIn-house research on the structure, dynamics and function of matter$$x0 000429815 9141_ $$y2019 000429815 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 000429815 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000429815 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)FS-CFEL-2-20120731$$kFS-CFEL-2$$lUltrafast Lasers & X-rays Division$$x0 000429815 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)CFEL-UFOX-20160927$$kCFEL-UFOX$$lFS-CFEL-2$$x1 000429815 9201_ $$0I:(DE-H253)PhotonScience-20170411$$kPhotonScience$$lFS Photon Science$$x2 000429815 980__ $$acontrib 000429815 980__ $$aVDB 000429815 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000429815 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)FS-CFEL-2-20120731 000429815 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)CFEL-UFOX-20160927 000429815 980__ $$aI:(DE-H253)PhotonScience-20170411 000429815 9801_ $$aFullTexts
