  At the European XFEL a hard X-Ray SASE FEL (SA-SE1) and a soft X-Ray SASE FEL (SASE3) share in series the same electron beamline. This configuration couples the operation conditions for both undulators and their subsequent user experiments in terms of SASE in-tensity and background. We report on our experience in parallel operation and discuss the solutions that enable the operation of both undulators as independently as possible.

  Intense FEL VUV and soft X-ray pulses with a time duration of few fs allows to probe ultrafast, out-of equilibrium dynamics or to pump the sample driving new phase transitions in regimes where uniform heating is not depleted by secondary energy decay channels, such as Auger effect [Principi]. Most of the methods proposed to reduce the FEL pulse duration are based on a manipulation of longitudinal electron beam properties such as emittance, beam current, energy spread, trajectory or optical functions. We present an attractive alternative based on the exploitation of the FEL dynamic process itself, driving the FEL amplifier in saturation and superradiance in a cascade of undulators resonant at higher harmonics of an initial seed. At FERMI we have implemented for the first time a multistage superradiant cascade reaching EUV-soft X-ray wavelengths and producing high-power, stable, FEL pulses with a duration of about 5 fs. We report here the analysis of the configuration used and of the characterization of the radiation produced in this regime.

  The European XFEL is a high-repetition rate facility that generates high-power SASE radiation pulses in three beamlines. A joint upgrade project, with Finnish universities, to equip the SASE3 beamline with a chicane has been recently approved to generate two SASE pulses with different photon energies and temporal separation. In this work we report the status of the project, its expected performance, and recent experimental results. Additionally, we discuss methods to diagnose the properties of the generated radiation.
