Due to transient effects, e.g. coupler kicks, eddy currents or wakefields, bunch properties like the beam trajectory can change along the pulse train. To compensate for this, kicker systems based on high-current operational amplifiers have been developed for the free electron lasers European XFEL and FLASH at DESY in Hamburg. Here, we present the layout of the kicker system, the setup of the pulse electronics, and operational results with beam.
