  Current and future experiments at LCLS require XFEL pulse trains of variable time separation. The cavity based XFEL (CBXFEL) project requires multiple pulses separated by 220 ns, the X-ray Laser Oscillator (XLO) uses 15 ns spaced pulse trains and Matter under Extreme Conditions (MEC) experiments need a shortly spaced (less than 5 ns) pulse trains. In this proceeding, we discuss the LCLS multi-bunch improvement plan and report on its recently status and progress.

Plasma accelerators can generate ultra high brightness electron beams which open the door to light sources with smaller physical footprint and properties unachievable with conventional accelerator technology. In this work * we show that electron beams from Plasma WakeField Accelerators (PWFAs) can generate coherent tunable soft X-ray pulses with TW peak power and duration of tens of attoseconds in a meter-length undulator. These X-ray pulses are an order of magnitude more powerful, shorter and can be produced with better stability than state-of-the-art X-ray Free Electron Lasers (XFELs). The X-ray emission in this approach is driven by coherent radiation from a pre-bunched, near Mega Ampere (MA) current electron beam of attosecond duration rather than the SASE FEL process starting from noise. This approach significantly relaxes the restrictive requirements on emittance, energy spread, and pointing stability which has thus far hindered the realization of a high-gain FEL driven by a plasma accelerator. We discuss the approach and progress towards the experimental realization of this concept at the FACET-II accelerator facility.

Temporal shaping of photocathode excitation laser pulses is a long-sought-after challenge to tailor the phase-space of electrons. The temporal profile of lasers, typically up-converted from infrared to ultraviolet, have significant impact on the distribution and time-evolution of the collective electron bunches. Towards this end, we present a method combining efficient nonlinear up-conversion with simultaneous and adaptable temporal profile shaping through dispersion-controlled sum-frequency generation* resulting in temporal profiles with sharp rise-fall times and flat top profiles. Using the LCLS-II photoinjector as a case study, we demonstrate a reduction in generated electron transverse emittance by upwards of 30% over conventionally implemented temporal profiles. Additionally, we discuss the ongoing experimental implementation of this method and preliminary results.
