The NGLS is a next generation light source initiative spearheaded by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and based on an array of free-electron lasers (FEL) driven by a CW, 1-MHz bunch rate, superconducting linear accelerator. The facility is being designed to produce high peak and high average brightness coherent soft x-rays in the wavelength range of 1-12 nm, with shorter wavelengths accessible in harmonics or in expansion FELs. The facility performance requirements are based on a wide spectrum of scientific research objectives, requiring high flux, narrow-to-wide bandwidth, broad wavelength tunability, femtosecond pulse durations, and two-color pulses with variable relative timing and polarization, all of which cannot be encompassed in one FEL design. In addition, the cost of the facility requires building in a phased approach with perhaps three initial FELs and up to 9-10 FELs in the long term. We describe three very unique and complimentary FEL designs here as candidates for the first NGLS configuration.
