DEAC02-05CH11231 In linac driven free electron lasers, the final electron beam quality is constrained by the low energy (<100 MeV) beam dynamics at the injector. In this paper, we present studies and the optimized design for a high-repetition (>1 MHz) injector in order to provide a high brightness electron beam. The design effort is also extended to multiple modes of operation, in particular different bunch charges. The effects of space charge and low energy compression on the electron beam brightness are also discussed for the different modes. |

In the self-seeding scheme, the longitudinal coherence and spectral density of an unseeded FEL can be improved [*] by placing a monochromator at a location before the radiation reaches saturation levels, followed by a second stage of amplification. The final output pulse properties are determined by a complex combination of the monochromator properties, undulator settings, variations in the electron beam, and wakefields. We perform simulations for the output of SASE and self-seeded configurations for a soft x-ray FEL using both idealized beams and realistic beams from start-to-end simulations. These studies include cross-planar undulators dedicated to polarization control [**]. [*] J. Feldhaus, E.L. Saldin, J.R. Schneider, E.A. Schneidmiller, and M.V.
