TI - New MTCA.4-based Hardware Developments for the Control of the Optical Synchronization Systems at DESY J2 - Proc. of IBIC2014 AB - The optical synchronization group at DESY is operating and continuously enhancing their laser-based synchronization systems for various facilities which need femtosecond-stable timing. These include the free-electron lasers FLASH and the upcoming European XFEL as well as the electron diffraction machine REGAE and the plasma acceleration test facilities. One of the major upgrades under development is the migration of the entire electronic control hardware to the new MTCA.4 platform which was introduced as the new standard for accelerator control in many facilities worldwide. In this paper we present the applied modules and the topology of the new systems. Main advantages are a compact design with higher performance, redundancy, and remote management.
