  SASE FELs are a powerful light source in short wavelengths from VUV to X-ray regions to investigate matters and phenomena. SASE was first experimentally obtained in 2000 at DESY TTF with an output wavelength of 109 nm. Subsequently, FLASH, LCLS and SACLA have achieved lasing in VUV, soft X-rays and hard X-rays. Although SASE has already been widely used for many application experiments in broad scientific fields, its spiky spectrum and time structures due to the lack of longitudinal coherence sometimes become problematic. To improve its longitudinal coherence, various ideas have been proposed and some of them are already demonstrated experimentally, such as a self-seeded scheme, high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) and echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG). There is also another direction of developments to enhance the capability and potentiality of SASE, for example short pulse generation and two-color lasing. This talk will review recent innovative ideas of short wavelength FELs together with their experimental results.

  A self-seeded XFEL system using a transmitted beam under Bragg diffraction has been developed at the first compact XFEL facility SACLA in order to generate a brilliant single-mode XFEL with high temporal coherence. High stability and unique beam characteristics of SACLA should significantly contribute to achieve reliable, high-quality seeded XFEL operation. In particular, the short-pulse property that has been achieved in routine operation enables us to switch SASE and seeded mode quickly, without changing the electron beam parameters. This is also useful for delivering different modes to multiple beamlines simultaneously. In the test experiments carried out in autumn 2013, spectral narrowing was observed at 10 keV using diamond 400 reflection. Systematic optimization on beam properties is now in progress towards experimental use of seeded XFELs in summer 2014. This talk gives the overview of the plan, achieved results and ongoing R&D.
