  FLASH is the superconducting soft X-ray Free Electron Laser in Hamburg at DESY, Germany. Good control over the beam optics is a key aspect of the operation of a SASE FEL. In 2013 a second beam line, FLASH2, was assembled and the modifications necessary to feed the two beam lines were installed downstream of the FLASH linac. As reported before * we started a campaign of optics consolidation. We give an update on the progress of this effort and on results.

  A novel undulator prototype with a horizontal magnetic field and dynamic compensation of magnetic forces has been recently developed at the APS as a part of the LCLS-II R&D program. This undulator should meet stringent requirements for any LCLS-II insertion device. These requirements include limits on the field integrals and phase errors for all operational gaps, and the reproducibility and accuracy of the gap settings. Extensive mechanical testing has resulted in a performance that meets the requirements on the undulator gap setting. The magnetic tuning has been accomplished by applying a set of magnetic shims. As a result, the satisfactory performance of the undulator prototype has been demonstrated.

  Through the use of simulation tools and theoretical analysis techniques, the Free Electron Laser process is investigated for a wiggler that is generated by an ultrafast laser system. The development and availability of such systems allows for novel FEL designs due to the high peak power of such lasers. Even though such high powers are possible, difficulties arise due to inhomogeneity in the laser pulse. This project looks at simulation results for a system with a realistic laser pulse profile and looks in to the pulse-shape effects on various system parameters. Models are presented for the expected behavior with important parameters noted, as well as highlighting possible difficulties that might occur experimentally. While head-on interaction has been proven experimentally for the short wavelength regime *, we believe that using a co-propagating laser can provide benefits that have currently been untested. This experimental setup is outlined in Lawler, J et al **, and we are currently simulating how the use of an ultrashort laser pulse as an electromagnetic wiggler will affect characteristics of the output radiation.

An analysis of CeC amplifier based on 1D FEL theory was previously performed with exact solution of the dispersion relation, assuming electrons having Lorentzian energy distribution *. At high gain limit, the asymptotic behavior of the FEL amplifier can be better understood by Taylor expanding the exact solution of the dispersion relation with respect to the detuning parameter **. In this work, we make quadratic expansion of the dispersion relation for Lorentzian energy distribution * *** and investigate how longitudinal space charge and electrons’ energy spread affect the FEL amplification process.
