  Recently, at the Laboratoire d'Optique Appliquée, progresses have been made for the development of 5th generation light sources based on plasma-accelerator. Electron beams of tens of picocoulomb at about 200 MeV has been generated at the interaction of a 1 Joule, 30 fs laser focussed on a 3 mm long gas target at an electron density of 5 1018 cm-3. Then, the electron beam was refocused with a quadrupoles triplet inside a 60 cm long undulator composed of 34 periods of 18 mm with a deflection parameter equal to 1. In these conditions synchrotron radiation UV light has been measured. This constitutes a promising first step in the view of realizing FEL based on plasma acceleration in future.

  LUNEX5 (free electron Laser Using a New accelerator for the Exploitation of X-ray radiation of 5th generation) aims at investigating the production of short, intense, and coherent pulses in the soft X-ray region (with two particular targeted wavelengths of 20 and 13 nm on the fundamental wavelength). The project consists of a Free Electron Laser (FEL) line enabling the most advanced seeding configurations (High order Harmonic in Gas seeding and Echo Enable Harmonic Generation) and in-vacuum (potentially cryogenic) undulators of 15 and 30 mm period. Two accelerator types feed this FEL line : a Conventional Linear Accelerator (CLA) with superconducting cavities of 400 MeV for the investigations of the advanced FEL schemes, compatible with a future up-grade for high repetition rate; and a 0.4 - 1 GeV Laser Wake Field Accelerator (LWFA), to be qualified in view of FEL application, in the single spike or seeded regime. Two pilot user experiments for time-resolved studies of isolated species and solid state matter dynamics will take benefit of LUNEX5 FEL radiation and provide feedback of the performance of the different schemes under real user conditions.
