At the BESSY II storage ring, a source of sub-100-fs x-ray pulses with tunable polarization and excellent signal-to-background ratio has been constructed in 2004, based on laser-induced energy modulation ("femtoslicing"*) and subsequent angular separation of the short-pulse x-rays from an elliptical undulator. After commissioning and characterizing the source, short-pulse radiation is now routinely delivered for pump-probe applications. The paper summarizes the results from commissioning and operational experience as well as possible upgrade options.
