100-200 MeV range ERL-FELs generating few cycle short, high intensity mid-IR pulses with tens of MHz repetition rates might become attractive tools in various strong field applications such as the recently considered up-frequency conversion processes in the x-ray region [1]. The presented coupled FEL oscillator employs a shorter undulator in the amplifier section than the one used in its master oscillator. The scheme achieves an exceptionally high overall extraction efficiency to tap on the high power deposited in the electron beam [1]. We elaborate on modified versions of this scheme and direct the attention towards a (seemingly far-fetched) major High-Field application*, the laser driven plasma-based electron accelerator and its parameter scalings[2].
