High harmonic generation (HHG) in rare gases is now becoming a common technology to produce attosecond pulses in VUV wavelengths. So far HHG sources have been realized by femtosecond solid-state lasers, not FELs. We propose a FEL-driven HHG source to explore attosecond pulses at photon energies above 1 keV with a MHz-repetition, which is difficult with solid-state lasers [1]. A research program has been launched to establish technologies for the FEL-HHG, which covers generation and characterization of few-cycle IR pulses in a FEL oscillator, stacking of FEL pulses in an external cavity, and a seed laser for stabilization of carrier-envelope phase in a FEL oscillator. In this talk, we present the scheme of FEL-HHG and the status of the research program.

  Recently KEK has launched an infrared FEL project with a competitive funding from NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization). The purpose of this project is to build a mid-infrared FEL at the compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL), and to use that FEL as a light source for construction of the processing database required for industrial lasers. The FEL system is composed of two 3 m undulators and a matching section between them, and generates light with a maximum pulse energy of 1 µJ at the wavelength of 20 µm with an 81.25 MHz repetition rate. The FEL is also expected to become a proof-of-concept machine for ERL base FELs for future EUV lithography. The detail of the project will be presented, and the relationship of the technical development between the mid-infrared FEL and the future EUV-FEL will be discussed.
