Description
The Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE) at CERN demands state-of-the-art timing and synchronisation performance. Upgrades due for completion 2029 require sub-50 fs laser synchronisation from its distributed laser systems to achieve experiment baselines. Accordingly, a time-of-flight stabilised all-optical timing distribution network in development with Lancaster University aims to establish a timing coherence of tens of femtoseconds between sub-systems separated by 100 m. This contribution outlines system architecture, stabilisation strategy and progress to date.
