Why FEL R&D?
Seeded FELs with Full Coherence are the next Frontier
Narrower bandwidth, stable pulse form
FEL efficiency is greatly enhanced with a tapered undulator
Smaller, cheaper
Harmonic lasing scheme
Advanced cathodes and guns
Emittance exchange/conditioning
C/X band structure, LPA based TTFEL, Seeding……
Ultrafast techniques and instrumentations to fully utilize XFELs

There are technical challenges to extend the wavelength to below 200
nm in standard CPA lasers, because of the strong absorption of the
materials used in conventional laser amplifiers.

Conclusions
SDUV-FEL is one of the most competitive test facilities for
FEL principles and technologies
 4 years’ machine operation
 Several advanced FEL experiments have been accomplished, including
EEHG-FEL lasing, continuous HGHG wavelength tuning, and crossedplanar undulator, etc.
 new experiments (CPA-HGHG, PEHG) are coming soon.
So far, All three high-gain FELs in China, i.e., SDUV-FEL,
DCLS and SXFEL, was and are being built by SINAP.
Principally and technically, SINAP is ready for China’s first
hard X-ray FEL user facility.
