  20. Conclusions • Seeding needs 10 fs timing distribution over 300m distances (rel. precision 10-8). Can be accomplished by length stabilized fiber links. • Fiber noise eliminated by active feedback. • Scheme for phase stable RF-regeneration has been outlined • Less than 0.3 fs between independent lasers has been demonstrated,  Optical Clock distribution. • Photo-Injection Laser: Mode-locked Yb:YAG laser and amplifier • Long wavelength seed: Mode-locked Yb:YAG laser and CPA
