The 266 nm UV drive laser for the NSRRC 2998 MHz photo-injector system is generated from a nonlinear optical crystal that is driven by a 798 nm, 3.5 mJ Ti:Sapphire laser amplifier system. Synchronization of the seed laser pulses with the master oscillator of the photo-injector high power microwave system is done by locking the laser to the rf clock signal with time jitter of less than a picosecond. A detector circuit is being built to measure this jitter at sub-picosecond time resolution. Preliminary results of this jitter measurement electronics that have been tested with artificial signals are presented. |
