Since the very first proposal of high-gain FELs for the X-ray wavelength regime it was obvious that realization of such a device, potentially rewarding revolutionary science opportunities, would impose extraordinary challenges in terms of accelerator physics and technology. The talk will review the major steps that had to be taken to finally construct an FEL user facility for soft X-rays. Also, a few issues will be pointed out that are to be addressed in order to make full profit of the FEL principle at X-ray wavelengts.

The results from the magnetic measurements with the FLASH infrared electromagnetic undulator reported in a companion paper where used as input for calculations of the expected radiation spectrum. Especially the behaviour of the device at small first harmonic wavelengths, i.e. small excitation currents, is important for beam diagnostics, as here the high intensity in a narrow band is a distinct advantage over broad-band sources to detect small bunch structures. The field quality is reduced at small currents due to imperfections in the yoke construction and limited compensation by correction windings. A determination of the lower limit for useful operation of the device follows from these calculations.

The FLASH free-electron laser at DESY, Hamburg, will be equipped with an infrared electromagnetic undulator during the current shut-down, providing radiation in the range 1-200 um. It will be used both for electron beam diagnostics purposes and as a powerful source synchronized to the VUV and soft X-ray pulses of the FEL. The undulator was constructed at the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (JINR). This paper summarizes the extensive magnetic measurements that where performed both at JINR and DESY prior to installation of the undulator.

The Photo Injector Test facility at DESY in Zeuthen (PITZ) was built to test and optimize electron guns for short wavelength Free-Electron Lasers (FELs) like FLASH and XFEL at DESY in Hamburg. For a detailed analysis of the behaviour of the electron bunch, the longitudinal phase space and it projections can be measured behind the gun cavity. The electric field at the photo cathode was increased from 40 MV/m to 60 MV/m, to optimize the transverse emittance. The momentum distributions for different gradients and gun phases will be presented. The determination of the field balance from the momentum distribution will be discussed. In order to study emittance conservation, a booster cavity and additional diagnostics were installed. The evolution of the longitudinal phase space in the booster cavity will be investigated. Measurements of the momentum distribution and longitudinal distribution behind the booster cavity will be discussed.
