A recent upgrade of the cERL to the middle Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR-FEL) imposed new conditions to maintain beam parameters. Therefore, the injector should be optimized to meet the following requirements at the exit of the main linac. The rms bunch length should be 2 ps, the rms longitudinal emittance should be kept the least, and simultaneously the rms transverse emittance should be kept less than 3 c mm mrad. In this work we describe the strategy and results of the injector optimization to achieve the better performance of the cERL-FEL.}}, }
