  The Regenerative Amplifier FEL (RAFEL) feeds back a small fraction of the radiation exiting a high-gain undulator as the seed for the next pass, and achieves narrow linewidth and saturation in a few passes. For the IR RAFEL, we used an optical cavity with annular mirrors to reinject ~10% of the IR radiation back into a two-meter undulator [1]. Since then, a number of researchers have proposed RAFEL and XFELO to achieve full temporal coherence in VUV and X-ray FELs [2-5]. For the XFELO, symmetric Bragg backscattering off high-quality diamond crystals can provide very high reflectivity for the XFELO cavity [6]. The required reflectivity for a RAFEL feedback cavity is much lower than the XFELO. We show that 6% feedback is sufficient for the X-ray RAFEL at 9.8 keV to saturate and achieve 0.5-eV bandwidth. We discuss options to out-couple more than ~50% of the RAFEL intra-cavity power and discuss challenges associated with X-ray absorption in the out-coupler.

High brightness electron sources, such as photo injectors, deliver electron beams with a few Ampere peak currents yet high energy X-ray free-electron lasers require electron beams with >3kA peak currents to operate. In order to bridge this gap, a 100x beam compression that does not reduce the brightness of an electron beam has to take place. We will present our study of an E-SASE based compression scheme aimed at satisfying the requirements of high energy X-ray free electron lasers regarding electron beam currents, energy spreads and emittances. The E-SASE compression is based on a laser modulation of an electron beam energy and subsequent compression in a small magnetic chicane, which results in a train of high current bunches that are synchronized to the external laser and could be used in pump-probe experiments. A unique time profile of an electron beam is expected to suppress the resistive-wall wake effects.
