Within the framework of the EUROFEL project, a task has been started in 2006 for a joint development of a Bunch Arrival Monitor (BAM), based on the original idea from DESY. ELETTRA is responsible for the development of the VME-controlled clock-delay board of the BAM system. A variable clock-delay circuit (a phase shifter) is required to adjust the acquisition sampling point of the pick-up-modulated optical pulses of the master-laser oscillator. Since the optical pulses have a repetition rate of 40.625MHz (54MHz in the future) and the acquisition sampling frequency is double of this value, the clock-delay module operates in the 80-120MHz frequency range. The clock timing jitter of the acquisition system greatly affects the measurements of the system: the output timing jitter from the clock-delay board should be less than 0.5ps-rms. Therefore, due to the very strict additive timing-jitter requirements, three phase shifter versions were designed, built and phase-noise evaluated. Low-pass-filter implementation achieved 563fs (at 283fs source jitter) of total-system timing jitter, integrated IQ multiplier 365fs (at 188fs of source) and passive IQ modulator 265fs (at 208fs of source).

We have successfully stabilized a 3GHz Harmonically Mode-Locked fiber ring laser by a PLL feedback control of the cavity length to reduce the pulses RMS timing jitter. The laser cavity is composed of all PM fibers and components to eliminate polarization instabilities and to reduce the vibration sensitivity. The laser stability in terms of timing jitter was around 9ps in the range 10Hz-10MHz. Using a PLL scheme we synchronized the laser repetition rate to an ultra stable RF generator. The noise characteristics of the laser output were measured by observing the SSB noise spectra of the 1st harmonic, from 10Hz to the Nyquist frequency (1.5GHz). We have obtained a global reduction of fiber laser timing jitter value down to less than 100fs in the range 10Hz-10MHz; a complete overlapping between the laser and the RF generator spectral profiles in the loop bandwidth has been observed. An extended investigation has been performed to estimate the phase noise spectra and timing jitter up to 1.5GHz. By doing so, the contribution of the laser supermodes to the phase noise has been taken into account as well, to quantify the true value of the total RMS timing jitter of the optical pulses.
