  A number of recent experimental and theoretical studies have investigated novel techniques for suppressing the microbunching instability in high-brightness linac-based light sources. This instability has long been studied as one of the causes of reduced longitudinal coherence in these machines, which are commonly suppressed using a laser heater. This contribution presents recent developments concerning the use of an optics-based scheme to mitigate the microbunching instability in the FERMI free-electron laser, paving the way towards reversible beam heating techniques that could improve the performance of future machines.

Recently a mechanism of the steady-state microbunching (SSMB) in a storage ring has been proposed and investigated. The SSMB aims to maintain the same excellent high repetition rate, close to continuous-wave operation, as the storage ring. Moreover, replacing the conventional RF cavity with a laser modulator for longitudinal focusing, the individual electron bunches can be microbunched in a steady state. The microbunched electron bunch train, with individual bunch length comparable to or shorter than the radiation wavelength, can not only produce coherent powerful synchrotron radiations but may also be subject to FEL-like collective instabilities. Our previous analysis was based on the wake-impedance model*. In this paper, we have developed a recursive model for the laser modulator in the SSMB storage ring. In particular, the transverse-longitudinal coupling scheme is assumed**. Equipped with the above matrix formalism, we can construct a recursive model to account for turn-by-turn evolution, including single-particle and second moments. It is possible to obtain a simplified analytical expression to identify the stability regime or tolerance range for non-perfect cancellation.

  Generating an FEL requires a high-brightness electron beam. To produce multiple FELs, the linac beam must be shared to enable one beam driving an undulator. This leads to a reduced average current and compromised FEL performance. Recently, a concept of multiple FELs driven by one electron beam was proposed, which enables reduction of equipment and improvement of productivity. We present here a simulation study based on an extended 1D FEL oscillator model to demonstrate this concept. The system consists of two FEL oscillators arranged side-by-side and one electron beam passing through them. As such, the second, downstream oscillator is driven by bunches already been used once, while the first oscillator always receives fresh bunches from the linac. The study shows lasing could be achieved for both oscillators, their radiation intensities at saturation are comparable, thus meet needs of users. The concept also enables a potential application using a circulator ring such that an oscillator can be driven alternately by fresh linac bunches from and used bunches in the circulator ring. Extending the concept to cases of more than two FEL oscillators driven by one beam is also explored.
