Popis: 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(Relativistic Electron Gun for Atomic Exploration) and the future plasma acceleration test facilities (LAO LA and FLASHforward). One of the major upgrades under development is the migration of the entire electronic control hardware to the new MTCA.4 platform which w as 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.
