  At the Japanese x-ray free-electron laser (FEL) facility, SACLA, the beamline-1 has been upgraded from a spontaneous radiation to a soft x-ray FEL beamline, which generates FEL lights over a wide wavelength range from the extreme-ultraviolet to the soft x-ray regions. We started operation for users in July 2016. A dedicated accelerator, which is a refinement of the SCSS test accelerator operated in 2005-2013, was installed beside the XFEL beamlines in the SACLA undulator hall. The SCSS concept to make an FEL facility compact was continuously adopted. In the 2016 summer shutdown period, the beam energy was upgraded from 500 MeV to 800 MeV by adding two C-band rf units. The maximum K-value of the undulator magnet is 2.1. The available wavelengths of the FEL lights were extended to the range from 8 to 50 nm with pulse energies between a few to few tensμJ at an operational repetition rate of 60 Hz. In this conference, we will report an overview of the upgraded SACLA-beamline-1 and characteristics of the FEL light pulse.

  SPring-8 is a 3rd generation synchrotron radiation facility, which has been operated since 1997. The analog-circuit-based rf modules now in use at the storage ring are obsolete and hard to be maintained. The renewal of them with modern digital ones is underway and the developed LLRF system will be used for the operation of SPring-8-II. We built an amplitude and phase stabilizing system with commercial MicroTCA.4 modules. A motor driver controlled through EtherCAT was newly adapted to the cavity tuner. The system was implemented to the high power rf test stand which consists of a 1 MW klystron, a circulator, and a 508.58 MHz cavity. The rf power was successfully regulated to keep the cavity voltage with an amplitude deviation of less than 0.1% and a phase stability of less than 0.1 degree in rms. We are also developing new MTCA.4 modules: a digitizer AMC having sampling rate of 370 MHz and 16bit resolution, and a signal conditioning RTM. These modules are used for under-sampling rf detection achieving simple composition and more robustness to the ambient parameter changes. We will start installation of the digital system to one of four rf stations in the storage ring in summer 2017.
