  In order to monitor long-term stability of beam optics, simple and at the same time minimally invasive procedures are desirable. Using selectively kicked bunches, betatron phase advance, as well as potential growth of the betatron oscillation amplitude and the Twiss parameters alpha and beta can be extracted from BPM data. If done periodically, this data can be compiled into a long-term history that is accessible via the control system. This way it is possible to identify potential sources of beam optics errors. At FLASH the procedure could be implemented as a server/client tool. Since the whole procedure takes less than five seconds, operation is not disturbed significantly. In this work the possible implementation of the procedure is presented. It is also shown how the history data can be evaluated in order to infer possible beam optics error sources.

  The superconducting free-electron laser FLASH at DESY routinely produces up to several thousand photon pulses per second with wavelengths in the soft X-ray and vacuum UV regime and with energies up to 0.5 mJ per pulse. In 2014 the assembly of a second undulator beamline, FLASH2, was finished. While recommissioning of the FLASH linac and the original FLASH1 beamline was finished already at the end of 2013, the commissioning of FLASH2 could only be started in early February 2014. Only a few weeks have been reserved for dedicated set up of FLASH2, and most of its commissioning has been performed parasitically during the FLASH1 user run. The first beam was extracted through the septum to the FLASH2 beamline on March 4th, 2014, and the first lasing of FLASH2 at a wavelength of about 40 nm was achieved on August 20th, while FLASH1 was lasing simultaneously with 250 bunches at 13.5 nm. We summarize here the status of the FLASH2 commissioning and the FLASH1 operation during its 5th user period.

3-D ellipsoidal photo cathode laser pulses are considered as the next step in optimization of photo injectors required for a successful operation of linac based free electron lasers. Beam dynamics simulations using such laser pulses compared to conventional cylindrical pulses have shown a significant improvement in electron beam emittance. In collaboration with the Institute of Applied Physics (Nizhny Novgorod, Russia) and the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) such a 3-D ellipsoidal laser pulse system has been developed and afterwards installed at the Photo Injector Test facility at DESY, Zeuthen site (PITZ). The pulse shaping is realized using the spatial light modulator technique. This allows very fine amplitude modulation within a laser pulse. The characterization of the shape of the laser pulses can be done by cross-correlation measurements. Using this method the ability to generate and measure quasi ellipsoidal laser pulses has been demonstrated. In this contribution the overall set-up, working principle and first results received with the new photo cathode laser system at PITZ will be reported.
