  Modern accelerator light sources are based on either linac-FELs or storage rings. The linac-FEL type has high brilliance (microbunched beam) but low repetition rate. The storage ring type has high repetition rate (rapid beam circulation) but low brilliance. We propose to explore the feasibility of a microbunched beam in a storage ring that promises high repetition rate and high brilliance. The steady-state microbunched (SSMB) beam in a storage ring could provide CW sources for THz, EUV, or soft X-rays. We review several recently proposed SSMB concepts as promising directions for high brightness, high repetition rate light sources of the future.
