FEL have been recently evolving very fast in the extreme-ultraviolet to soft X-ray region. Once seeded with high harmonics generated in gas, these light sources deliver amplified emissions with properties which are, for most of them, directly linked to the injected harmonic beam, e.g. the ultrashort pulse duration for FEL and the high temporal and spatial degree of coherence. Since the last two years the developments of techniques for improving the harmonic properties for seeding FEL lead to major results on tunability, intensity, repetition rate and polarization. Actually harmonics are nowadays used for numbers of applications, before limited to FEL facility. Also, FEL based on harmonic seeding can benefit from the natural synchronization between the FEL, the harmonic and the laser used for generation, which makes it a perfect candidate for pump-probe experiment with fs resolution.
