The European XFEL will be an X-ray free electron laser laboratory at DESY in Hamburg Germany. In the baseline design the light pulses will be generated in long undulators via the SASE process. The wavelengths of the light pulses will be between 5 nm and 0.05 nm. Since SASE pulses have a poor longitudinal coherence a lot of research is ongoing to overcome the statistical fluctuations of the SASE pulses. Some years ago Kim et al. proposed an FEL oscillator for light sources based on energy-recovery linacs (ERL), using Diamond Bragg crystals to perform a high reflective cavity in the X-ray regime (XFELO). Since the European XFEL will be based on superconducting accelerator structures it will deliver a long train of electron bunches which might be suitable to support an XFELO arrangement as well.
