  The successful operation of the SPARC injector in the Velocity Bunching (VB) mode (bunches with 1 kA current with emittance of 3 mm-mrad have been produced) has opened new perspectives to conduct advanced beam dynamics experiments with ultra-short electron pulses able to extend the THz spectrum or to drive the FEL in the SASE Single Spike mode. A new technique called Laser Comb, able to generate a train of short pulses with high repetition rate, has been extensively tested in the VB configuration. Two electron beam pulses 300 fs long separated by 1 ps have been characterized and the spectrum produced by the SASE interaction has been observed, showing that both pulses have been correctly matched to the undulator and were both lasing. In this paper we report the experimental and theoretical results obtained so far.
