The Advanced Light Source (ALS) at Berkeley Lab is one of the earliest 3rd generation light sources. Over the years substantial upgrades have been implemented to keep the facility at the forefront of soft x-ray sources. The most recent one is a multi-year upgrade, that includes new and replacement x-ray beamlines, a replacement of many of the original insertion devices and many upgrades to the accelerator. The accelerator upgrade that affects the ALS performance most directly is the ALS brightness upgrade, which will reduce the horizontal emittance from 6.3 to 2.2 nm. This will result in a brightness increase by a factor of three for bend magnet beamlines and at least a factor of two for insertion device beamlines and will keep the ALS competitive with newer sources.

The Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) is a design concept, under development at LBNL, for a multi‐beamline soft x‐ray FEL array powered by a 2 GeV superconducting linear accelerator, operating with a 1 MHz bunch repetition rate. The CW superconducting linear accelerator is supplied by a high-brightness, high-repetition-rate photocathode electron gun. Electron bunches are distributed from the linac to the array of independently configurable FEL beamlines with nominal bunch rates up to 100 kHz in each FEL, and with even pulse spacing. Individual FELs may be configured for EEHG, HGHG, SASE, or oscillator mode of operation, and will produce high peak and average brightness x-rays with a flexible pulse format, and with pulse durations ranging from sub-femtoseconds to hundreds of femtoseconds.
