  The FERMI project is devoted to the realization of a FEL user facility based on the principle of coherent harmonic generation (CHG). The advantages of such a method (with respect, e.g., to self amplified spontaneous emission) is that the output properties of the light are strongly determined by the interaction of the seed laser with the electron beam within the modulator undulator. In CHG FELs therefore, in addition to the requirements for the radiator where FEL radiation is produced, it is important to understand and satisfy the requirements for the modulator. In this work, we present a study focused on the first stage (FEL-1) of the FERMI@Elettra setup. The study aims at providing an estimation of the undulator requirements in terms of magnetic field accuracy for both the modulator and the radiator. The work is based on numerical simulations of the FEL-1 using the numerical code GINGERH [1]. The required undulator tolerances have been obtained by means of a large number of simulation runs taking into account different sets of undulator parameters.

  We propose a modification of the first stage (FEL-1) of the FERMI@Elettra project in order to extend the wavelength from the original limit of 40 nm down to 20 nm. The modified setup takes advantage of a shorter radiator undulator period. We present the numerical studies that have been carried out to compare the expected performance of the new FEL-1 with that of the original FERMI setup*. Results show that the modified configuration represents a good alternative to the second stage of the project (FEL-2) in the wavelength range between 40 nm and 20 nm.
