At the srf based prototype cw accelerator ELBE a new electron beamline, providing for femtosecond electron bunches with nC bunch charges and repetition rates in the 1 – 200 KHz regime and with pC bunch charge and repetition rates of 13 MHz is currently constructed. The 40 MeV electrons will be used in photon-electron interaction experiments with TW and PW class laser and the generation of broad band and narrow bandwidth coherent THz pulses. In this paper we outline ideas for novel online diagnostics of the electron bunch properties (e.g. arrival time and bunch form) based on the time and frequency domain analysis of the emitted coherent THz radiation but also based on direct measurements by e.g. electro-optic sampling. The suitability of ELBE as a testbed for diagnostic of future cw X-ray photon sources (e.g. energy recovery linacs) will be discussed.

  The IR and THz FEL at the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) in Berlin is designed to deliver radiation from 4 to 400 microns. A single-plane-focusing undulator combined with a 5.4-m-long cavity is used is the mid-IR (< 50 micron), while a two-plane-focusing undulator in combination with a 7.2-m-long cavity with a 1-D waveguide for the optical mode is planned for the far-IR. Beam was delivered to the IR beam dump in November 2011. We describe progress since that time in completing the commissioning of the mid-IR beamline and the status of the far-IR beamline design and fabrication.

  The superconducting CW- LINAC (1.3 GHz) of the radiation source ELBE is in permanent operation since May 2001/1/. During the winter shut-down 2011 - 1212 an upgrade program of ELBE was realized. One part of the program was to double the RF-power per cavity using two 10 kW Solid State Amplifiers in parallel per cavity. The poster gives an overview on the new RF-system and the experience gained within the first three months of operation.
