One of the primary goals of the superconducting undulator (SCU) program at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) is to achieve a high quality undulator magnetic field without the need for magnetic shimming to tune the device. Over the course of two years, two SCUs were designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested at the APS. Both SCUs were one meter in length with a period of 1.8 cm. After magnetic measurements of the first undulator were completed, several design changes were made in order to improve the quality of the undulator magnetic field. The design modifications were implemented during construction and assembly of the second SCU. The details of the design modifications along with a comparison of the magnetic measurement results will be described.

As part of the LCLS-II R&D program, a novel 3.4-meter long undulator prototype with horizontal main magnetic field and dynamic force compensation - called the horizontal gap vertical polarization undulator (HGVPU) - has recently been developed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). Initial steps of the project included designing, building, and a testing 0.8-meter long prototype. Extensive mechanical testing of the HGVPU has been carried out. The magnetic tuning was accomplished by applying a set of magnetic shims. As a result, the performance of the HGVPU meets all the stringent requirements for the LCLS-II insertion device, which includes limits on the field integrals and phase errors for all operational gaps, as well as the reproducibility and accuracy of the gap settings. The HGVPU has been included in the baseline of the LCLS-II project for the hard x-ray undulator line.

Development of superconducting undulator (SCU) technology continues at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). Experience of building and successful operation of the first short-length, 16-mm period length superconducting undulator SCU0 paved a way for the second 1-m long, 18-mm period device, SCU1, which is in operation since May 2015. The APS SCU team has also built and tested a 1.5-m long, 21-mm period undulator as a part of LCLS SCU R&D program aiming at demonstration of SCU technology availability for free electron lasers. This undulator successfully achieved all the requirements including a phase error of 5 degree rms. Our team is currently completing one more 1-m, 18-mm period undulator that will replace the SCU0. We are also working on a helical SCU for the APS. The status of these projects will be presented.
