  In 2015, the water leakage happened at the cooling pipe of the in-vacuum septum magnet installed into the injection point. Because the maintenance of the leakage needed the total replacement of the magnet, the water circulation was stopped permanently, and accordingly, the light absorber was installed upstream in the storage ring to prevent the synchrotron light of the bending magnet from coming to the septum wall. This treatment temporally worked well, but the beam injection efficiency was decreased to about 30% due to the physical aperture narrowed by the absorber. With the desired replacement of septum magnet to maintainable out-vacuum type, the injection section upgrading was simultaneously planned to recover and improve the injection efficiency. In this upgrade, the injection beam is closed to the stored beam more than before by adapting the thinner septum structure as a way to improve the injection efficiency. And some new ideas are introduced in the part of monitor and beam duct, for example, realtime beam monitor, thinner Inconel duct. The detailed design of the upgraded injection section and technical points will be reviewed in this conference.

The IR-FEL was constructed in the Compact ERL (cERL) at KEK from October 2019 to May 2020 for the purpose of developing high-power mid-infrared lasers for high-efficiency laser processing utilizing molecular vibrational absorption. The chicane magnet was newly installed between two IR-FEL undulators in the cERL in order to increase the FEL gain and pulse energy by converting the energy modulation to the density modulation in an electron bunch. It consists of three dipole magnets with laminated yokes made of 0.1-mm-thick permalloy sheets and the coil currents of the three magnets are independently controlled by three power supplies with the maximum current of 10 A. The maximum closed orbit bump made by the chicane magnetic field has the longitudinal dispersion(R56) of -6 mm. The coil-current ratio of the three dipole magnets was tuned after installation to make its orbit bumps closed and then the chicane magnet was used in the FEL operation. We present specifications and operational performance of the chicane magnet.

The compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) has been in operation at KEK since 2013 to demonstrate ERL performance and develop ERL technology. Recently KEK has launched an infrared FEL project with a competitive funding. The purpose of this project is to build a mid-infrared FEL at the cERL, and to use that FEL as a light source for construction of the processing database required for industrial lasers. The FEL system is composed of two 3-m undulators and a matching section between them, and generates light with a maximum pulse energy of 0.1 micro-J at the wavelength of 20 microns with an 81.25 MHz repetition rate. The FEL is also expected to become a proof-of-concept machine for ERL base FELs for future EUV lithography.

The Compact Energy Recovery Linac (cERL) at KEK is a test accelerator to develop ERL technologies and to operate with a high average beam current and a high beam quality. cERL consists of a photoinjector, a main linac for energy recovery, a recirculation loop and a beam dump. A recent upgrade of the cERL to the middle Infrared Free Electron Laser (IR-FEL) imposed new conditions to maintain beam parameters. Therefore, the injector should be optimized to meet the following requirements at the exit of the main linac. The rms bunch length should be 2 ps, the rms longitudinal emittance should be kept the least, and simultaneously the rms transverse emittance should be kept less than 3 c mm mrad. In this work we describe the strategy and results of the injector optimization to achieve the better performance of the cERL-FEL.
