  The FEL-SPARC op­er­a­tion with two bunches at dif­fer­ent en­er­gies has been char­ac­ter­ized using dif­fer­ent tools. The ef­fect of the e-beam match­ing on the SASE op­er­a­tion has been ex­plored by con­trol­ling the trans­port with an ad hoc de­vel­oped con­trol sys­tem, al­low­ing ei­ther the trans­port in match­ing con­di­tions and in dif­fer­ent con­fig­u­ra­tions. Since the two bunches have, at the en­trance of the un­du­la­tor, dif­fer­ent phase space char­ac­ter­is­tics we used this ef­fect as a knob to en­hance or sup­press one or the other FEL mode. We in­ves­ti­gated the ef­fect of seed­ing on both fre­quen­cies and ob­served beat­ing waves, fur­ther­more we ob­served ef­fects of in­tra-bunch seed­ing when only one of the modes is seeded.

  The pos­si­bil­ity to merge dif­fer­ent so­lu­tions ex­ploit­ing wave un­du­la­tors, laser plasma ac­cel­er­a­tion and other schemes, al­lows the de­sign of com­pact Free Elec­tron Laser (FEL) sources op­er­at­ing in the ex­treme UV-X-ray re­gion of the spec­trum. Newly de­vel­oped high peak power lasers have opened in­deed ef­fec­tive pos­si­bil­i­ties of dri­ving co­her­ent light sources op­er­at­ing with laser plasma ac­cel­er­ated beams and wave un­du­la­tors. We com­bine dif­fer­ent ideas in­clud­ing also the con­cept of sheared beam con­fig­u­ra­tion to achieve com­pact and re­li­able FEL de­vices. We fi­nally com­ment on the per­spec­tive use of Radio Fre­quency (RF) un­du­la­tors, which seems to be fairly good can­di­dates for open­ing a new tech­no­log­i­cal strat­egy for the de­sign of FEL os­cil­la­tors, in­clud­ing bi-har­monic and multi-fre­quency op­er­a­tion.
