  To equip SACLA with wide ability to provide a laser beams in EUV and soft X-ray regions to experimental users, we have constructed a new free electron laser facility for SACLA beamline-1. Injector components, such as a thermionic electron gun, two buncher cavities, a S-band standing wave accelerator, S-band travelling wave accelerator and their RF sources, were relocated from the SCSS test accelerator, which was a prototype machine of SACLA. At the downstream of a bunch compressor chicane, three C-band 40 MV/m acceleration units were newly installed to effectively boost a beam energy up to 470 MeV. Two in-vacuum undulators were remodeled by changing the period of magnet array from 15 mm to 18 mm to increase SASE intensity by a larger K-value of 2.1. Beam commissioning was started in autumn 2015. So far SASE radiation at a 33 nm wavelength driven by a 470 MeV electron beam was observed. We will install the third undulator in this winter to obtain SASE saturation and additional C-band accelerator units in the next summer to raise the maximum beam energy to 750 MeV. In this presentation, the overview of the facility and the commissioning status will be reported.

  Plans are underway for the upgrade of the SPring-8 facility, targeting completion in the early 2020's. Sustainability is a key guiding principle for the fourth-generation X-ray source - a beam emittance of around 100 pm.rad is pursued simultaneously with substantial energy-saving. The three key features of the design are (i) to replace the main dipole electric magnets with permanent magnets, (ii) to reduce the electron beam energy from 8 to 6 GeV, and (iii) to use the SACLA linac as an injector. Lowering the beam energy leads to reduction of (a) beam emittance, (b) magnetic fields, (c) the lengths of ID straight sections to maintain larger spaces for the magnets, and (d) the RF power consumption. Timeshare use of the SACLA linac enables beam injection to the upgraded ring with a low-emittance and short-pulsed beam as well as a reduction of injector power consumption by stopping the present injector consisting of a 1-GeV linac and a booster synchrotron. The outline of the upgrade plan will be reported with the current status of R&D started in 2015.
