With a maximum total flux about 3·10¹⁰ gamma/s and a spectral flux of more than 1,000 gamma/s/eV around 10 MeV, the HIGS is the world's most intense Compton gamma-ray source. Operated in the energy range from 1 to 100 MeV, the HIGS is a premier Compton gamma-ray facility in the world for a variety of nuclear physics research programs, both fundamental and applied. In this paper, we will describe our ongoing light source development to produce gamma-ray beams in the higher energy range of 100 and 158 MeV. We will also provide a summary of our recent accelerator physics and FEL physics research activities.
