Laser driven plasma accelerators are offering high gradient (10-100 GV/m), high quality (low emittance, short bunch length) electron beams, which can be suitable for future compact, bright and tunable light sources. In the framework of the Laboratory for Laser-and beam-driven plasma Acceleration (LAOLA) collaboration at Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) the external injection experiment for injecting electron bunches from a conventional RF accelerator into a linear plasma wave is in progress. External injection experiments at REGAE (Relativistic Electron gun for Atomic Exploration) require sub-20 to 50 fsec precision synchronization of laser and electron beams in order to perform a beam scan into the plasma wave by varying the delay between electron beam and laser pulses. Here we present current and new optical to microwave femtosecond level synchronization schemes and preliminary results in comparison.
