This article describes the design goals of FERMI@Elettra, reports on the goals achieved so far and shows how the facility development has been driven by the new research frontier of ultra-fast, extreme ultra-violet and soft X-ray science. The commissioning phases and first experience with user pilot experiments are presented and discussed.

  The variable gap undulator system in operation at the FERMI@Elettra Free Electron Laser facility requires adjustable phase matching devices between consecutive radiator segments in order to maintain optimal lasing conditions while changing the radiation properties. A permanent magnet phase shifter has been designed to achieve the required electron beam delay in a compact structure that could be installed in close proximity to the undulators. In this paper we present the design of the phasing units and the results of the magnetic measurements performed on the five devices installed so far. We also describe the method used to properly set their field strength for any given electron energy, radiation wavelength and polarization.

  Kyma Srl is the spin-off company of Sincrotrone Trieste, Elettra laboratory, set up in 2007 together with the two industrial partners Cosylab d.d. and Euromisure SpA, in order to design and manufacture the undulators for the FERMI@Elettra project in Trieste, Italy. The insertion devices, for FEL-2 line, manufactured and characterized so far are the following: Modulator, 3.2 m linearly polarized undulator, three 55.2 mm APPLE-II variable polarization undulators, each 2.4 m long and six 34.8 mm APPLE-II undulators also each 2.4 m long. All the above devices have been characterized, both from the mechanical and the magnetic point of view. The measured parameters are in good agreement with the design values. This paper presents the most relevant changes in design from FEL-1 to FEL-2 line and results of the magnetic measurements carried out on all the above undulators.
