  FLASH II is a major extension of the existing FLASH facility at DESY. It has been proposed in collaboration with the HZB. FLASH II is a seeded FEL in the parameter range of FLASH. The final layout of the undulator section of FLASH II allows for different seeding schemes. So that seeding with an HHG source as well as seeding in cascaded HGHG scheme and several combination of these schemes are possible. However, for the shortest wavelengths down to 4 nm the cascaded HGHG scheme will be utilized. It consists of two frequency up conversion stages utilizing a Ti:Sa laser based seeding source in UVU range. We present and discuss start-to-end simulation studies for the shortest wavelength generated in the HGHG cascade of FLASH II.

  FLASH II is an extension of the existing FLASH facility by an undulator line and an experimental Hall of which the construction will start before the end of the year. Aims are to increase beamtime for users and implement HHG seeding for the longer wavelength range from 10 to 40 nm at a reduced repetition rate of 100 kHz. Additional seeding schemes are under discussion as a future option. We will present a progress report of FLASH II.

  FLASH2 is an extension of the existing FEL FLASH at DESY, Hamburg. It uses the same linear accelerator. A separate tunnel and a new experimental hall will be built next to the existing FLASH facilities. First constructions started in spring 2011. A fast kicker and a septum to be installed behind the last superconducting acceleration module give the possibility to distribute the beam to the existing beam line and to the new extraction arc. Within this arc a pulsed bending magnet allows to send the beam into two separate beam lines: One hosting undulators for SASE and space for HHG seeding (FLASH2), the other serving a proposed plasma wake field experiment or later on another FEL beam line (FLASH3). The extraction arc design has to fulfill specific requirements such as small emittance and energy spread growth. Furthermore, constrains are given by the existing FLASH buildings and by the space required for the in-coupling of the seed laser. Beam quality impairment has been mitigated by designing the beam optics with horizontal beam waists in all bending magnets. To optimize the extraction arc, simulations for different layouts were carried out using the programs ELEGANT and CSRTRACK.
