	The spectral and temporal properties of Free-Electron Lasers (FEL) operating on the basis of self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) suffer from the stochastic behavior of the start-up process. Several so-called "seeding"-techniques using external radiation fields to overcome this limitation have been proposed and demonstrated. The external seed is usually generated by demanding, high-power laser systems, which are not available with a sufficient laser pulse energy at the high repetition rates of superconducting FEL facilities. In this contribution we discuss several seeding schemes that lower the requirements for the used laser systems, enabling seeded operation at high repetition rates by the means of a resonator-amplifier setup.

Free-electron lasers (FELs) based on the self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) principle generate photon pulses with typically poor longitudinal coherence. FEL seeding techniques greatly improve longitudinal coherence by initiating FEL amplification in a controlled way using coherent light pulses. The sFLASH experiment installed at the FEL user facility FLASH at DESY in Hamburg is dedicated to the study of external seeding techniques. In this paper, the layout of the sFLASH seeding experiment is presented and an overview of recent developments is given.

TUP077	Study of a Seeded Oscillator-Amplifier FEL	234

	In recent years, there is interest of the Free-Electron Laser (FEL) community in external-seeding techniques such as the Echo-Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) and the High-Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG). With these techniques, pulses of an improved temporal coherence are generated, but at the same time, they are limited by the repetition rates that seed lasers can currently offer with the required pulse energies. A big challenge is to combine the advantages of seeding schemes with high repetition rates. For this purpose, we study a combination of an oscillator-amplifier. The modulator in the oscillator is used at a long wavelength to modulate the electron beam and an amplifier is operated to extract the FEL radiation of the desired harmonic. This way we can use a seed laser of 10 Hz in a burst mode and a resonator to feedback the radiation at repetition rates of superconducting accelerators instead of using an external seed at these high-repetition rates. In this contribution, we present simulation results of a seeded oscillator-amplifier FEL in an HGHG scheme.

TUP078	Impact of Electron Beam Energy Chirp on Seeded FELs	238
	G. Paraskaki, S. Ackermann, B. Faatz, V. Grattoni, C. Lechner, J. Zemella DESY, Hamburg, Germany W. Hillert University of Hamburg, Institut für Experimentalphysik, Hamburg, Germany
	Seeded FELs enable the generation of fully coherent, transform-limited and high brightness FEL pulses, as the start-up process is driven by an external coherent light pulse. During the design process of such FELs, it is important to choose carefully the electron beam parameters to guarantee high performance. One of those parameters is the electron beam energy chirp. In this contribution, we show simulation results and we discuss how the electron beam energy chirp affects the final spectrum.

WEP072	Expected Radiation Properties of the Harmonic Afterburner at FLASH2	492
	M. Mehrjoo, B. Faatz, G. Paraskaki, M. Tischer, P. Vagin DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	We discuss the afterburner option to upgrade the FLASH2 undulator line, at the FLASH facility in the Hamburg area, for delivering short wavelengths down to approximately 1.5 nm with variable polarization. This relatively straightforward upgrade enables us the study of the scientific cases in L- absorption edges of rare earth metals. The proposed afterburner setting with an energy upgrade to 1.35 GeV would potentially cover many of the community’s requests for the short wavelengths radiation and circular polarization. We also study the influence of reverse tapering on the radiation output. This contribution presents a series of simulations for the afterburner scheme and some of the technical choices made for implementation.
