Following the successful demonstration of echo-enabled harmonic generation [1] (EEHG [2]) with n=7 [3] at SLAC's NLCTA in 2011 [4], the beam line has been upgraded recently to benchmark EEHG theory at much higher harmonics. An optical parametric amplifier has been used to provide a seed with wavelength at 2.4 μm. Using an rf undulator as the radiator, coherent radiation at the 14th harmonic of the seed, i.e. with wavelength at 171 nm, has been generated using EEHG technique with a 120 MeV beam. We will present detailed experimental results on testing EEHG at n=14. Future plans in testing EEHG at n=30~75 in the coming year will be briefly discussed as well.
