We present the initial results of an experimental study of abeam timing monitor based on an optoelectronic technique. This techniqueuses the electrical signal from a beam position monitor to modulate theamplitude of a train of laser pulses, converting timing jitter into anamplitude jitter. This modulation is then measured with a photodetectorand sampled by a fast ADC. This approach has already demonstrated sub-100fs resolution and promises even better results. Additionally, we areplanning to use the technique as a way to extract the maximum possiblebandwidth from a BPM, avoiding the dispersion typical of long RF cables.We show our initial results using signals from the Advanced Light Sourcestorage ring.

Inductive voltage adder topology has attracted great attentions in pulse power community for near two decades. However, there has been lack of literatures on inductive voltage adder network analysis and circuit design model. We have recently developed a simplified model and a set of simple formulas. An expanded model and more detailed analysis are presented in this paper. Our model reveals the relationship of output waveform parameters and hardware designs. Computer simulations have demonstrated that parameter estimation based on this approach is accurate. This approach can be used in early stages of project development to assist feasibility study, geometry selection in engineering design, and parameter selection of critical components. A set of fundamental estimation formulas including system impedance, rise time, and number of stages are presented. This approach is also applicable to induction LINAC design. In addition, the model presented in this paper shows a new topology of high voltage waveform generator.
