  Energy Recovery Linacs (ERLs) are high potential candidates for driving light sources based on laser Compton scattering with high brilliance photon beams and sub pico second time structure. We report on developments for an advanced ERL design, which allows the recovery of nearly full electron beam energy up to the limits set by the energy width of the beam. This “Full” Energy Recovery Linac (FERL) allows a substantial reduction of the complexity of the accelerator systems resulting into a very compact light source design suitable for industrial and medical applications.
