	Using the two perpendicularly oriented undulators and chicanes developed for an optical replica synthesizer (ORS) experiment together with the sFLASH 800 nm seed laser, radiator undulators and diagnostics, an echo seeding experiment will be conducted at FLASH in January 2012. For this experiment, the 800 nm laser pulse will be transported with a new, 12 meter long, in-vacuum laser transport line. On an in-vacuum optical breadboard, the 800 nm pulse will then be tripled in beta-BBO nonlinear crystals. The laser pulse will then be split longitudinally using a birefringent alpha BBO crystal into two pulses with orthogonal polarization states corresponding to the orthogonal orientations of the ORS undulators. These pulses will be focused to a 400 μm waist between the undulators with a Galileo telescope and steered with 4 motorized mirrors onto the electron beam axis in the ORS undulator section. The hardware layout and simulations of the echo seeding parameters will be described.

Using the two perpendicularly oriented undulators and chicanes developed for an optical replica synthesizer (ORS) experiment together with the sFLASH 800 nm seed laser, radiator undulators and diagnostics, an echo seeding experiment will be conducted at FLASH in January 2012. For this experiment, the 800 nm laser pulse will be transported with a new, 12 meter long, in-vacuum laser transport line. On an in-vacuum optical breadboard, the 800 nm pulse will then be tripled in beta-BBO nonlinear crystals. The laser pulse will then be split longitudinally using a birefringent alpha BBO crystal into two pulses with orthogonal polarization states corresponding to the orthogonal orientations of the ORS undulators. These pulses will be focused to a 400 μm waist between the undulators with a Galileo telescope and steered with 4 motorized mirrors onto the electron beam axis in the ORS undulator section. The hardware layout and simulations of the echo seeding parameters will be described.
