  The FERMI@Elettra Free Electron Laser (FEL) produced the first coherent photons in December 2010 at the end of the first commissioning phase. Starting from February 2011 the commissioning has continued, leading to an improvement of the FEL performance. In agreement with to the design, FEL-1, the first of the two FERMI free electron lasers, has been producing coherent FEL pulses in the 60 to 20 nm wavelength range. Benefits of the seeded scheme adopted for FERMI have been immediately evident also in the case of a non-optimized electron beam.
