  The performance reach of modern accelerators is often governed by the ability to reliably measure and control the beam stability. In high-brightness lepton and high-energy hadron accelerators the use of optical diagnostic techniques for this purpose is becoming more widespread as the required bandwidth, resolution and high RF beam power level involved limit the use of traditional electro-magnetic RF pick-up based methods. This contribution discusses the use of fibre-coupled ultra-fast Metal-Semiconductor-Metal Photodetectors (MSM-PD) as an alternative, dependable means to measure signals deriving from electro-optical and synchrotron-light based diagnostics systems. It describes the beam studies performed at CERN's CLIC Test Facility (CTF3) and the Australian Synchrotron to assess the feasibility of this technology as a robust, wide-band and sensitive technique for measuring transverse intra-bunch and bunch-by-bunch beam oscillations, longitudinal beam profiles, un-bunched beam population and beam-halo profiles. The used amplification schemes, achieved sensitivities, linearity, and dynamic range of the detector setup are presented.

In collaboration with SLAC, LAPP and IFIC, a first prototype of a strip-line Beam Position Monitor (BPM) for the CLIC Drive Beam and its associated readout electronics has been successfully tested in the CLIC Test Facility linac (CTF3) at CERN. In addition, a modified prototype with downstream terminated strip-lines is under development to better suppress any unwanted RF signal interference. This paper presents the results of the beam tests, the most relevant design aspects for the modified strip-line BPM version and its expected performance.

  The Main Beam (MB) LINAC of the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) requires a beam orbit measurement system with a high spatial (50 nm) and high temporal (50 ns) resolution to resolve the beam position within the 156 ns long bunch train, traveling on an energy-chirped, minimum dispersive trajectory. A 15 GHz prototype cavity BPM has been commissioned in the probe beam-line of the CTF3 CLIC Test Facility. The performance and technical details of this prototype installation are discussed in this paper, including the 15 GHz analog down-converter, the data acquisition and the control electronics and software. An R&D outlook is given for the next steps, which requires a system of 3 cavity BPMs to investigate the full resolution potential.
