An X-ray regenerative amplifier FEL (XRAFEL) utilizes an X-ray crystal cavity to provide optical feedback to the entrance of a high-gain undulator. An XRAFEL system leverages gain-guiding in the undulator to reduce the cavity alignment tolerances and targets the production of longitudinally coherent and high peak power and brightness X-ray pulses that could significantly enhance the performance of a standard single-pass SASE amplifier. The successful implementation of an X-ray cavity in the XRAFEL scheme requires the demonstration of X-ray optical components that can either satisfy large output coupling constraints or passively output a large fraction of the amplified coherent radiation. Here, we present new schemes to either actively Q-switch a diamond Bragg crystal through lattice constant manipulation or passively output couple a large fraction of the stored cavity radiation through controlled FEL microbunch rotation. A beamline design study, cavity stability analysis, and optimization will be presented illustrating the performance of potential XRAFEL configurations at LCLS-II/-HE using high-fidelity simulations.
