  The free electron laser (FEL) facility at Budker INP is being developed for more than 15 years. It is based on the normal conducting CW energy recovery linac (ERL) with rather complicated magnetic system lattice. Up to now it is the only one in the world multiorbit ERL. It can operate in three different regimes providing electron beam for three different FELs. Its commissioning was naturally divided in three stages. The first stage ERL includes only one orbit placed in vertical plane. It serves as electron beam source for terahertz FEL which started working for users in 2003. Radiation of this FEL is used by several groups of scientists including biologists, chemists and physicists. Its high peak and average powers are utilized in experiments on material ablation and biological objects modification. The second stage ERL is composed of two orbits located in horizontal plane. The second stage FEL is installed on the bypass of the second orbit. The first lasing of this FEL was achieved in 2009. The last stage ERL will include four orbits. Its commissioning is in progress now. In this paper we report the latest results obtained from the operating FELs as well as our progress with the commissioning of the two remaining ERL beamlines. We also discuss possible options for the future upgrade.

  The system of power supplies, control and modulation based on triode cathode-grid unit was designed for producing of pulsed electron beam for free electron laser FEL The main part of the system located inside the tank filled with SF6 gas and has -300 kV potential. It's supplied through the isolated transformer and controlled through the fiber optic link with CAN interface. The GaN RF transistor in the output stage of modulator composed of hybrid assembly on the BeO ceramic plate. Pulsed output voltage of modulator can be regulated 0-120 V on the load 25 Ohm. Time duration is <1 ns. Repetition rate is 0-90 MHz. Start of modulator from timer performed through the 1GHz fiber optic link. The control code was written on C++ language under Windows operating system using QT framework.
