  FERMI is studying a series of developments to keep the facility in a world-leading position on the base of the requests coming from the user community, the Scientific Advisory Council and the Machine Advisory Committee. The ultimate goal of the development plan consists in doubling the photon energy range and reducing the pulse duration below the characteristic lifetime of the atomic core levels located in the energy range of the source. One of the most promising approaches is the echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) scheme, relying on two external lasers to precisely control the spectro-temporal properties of the FEL pulse. The implementation of EEHG in the double-stage harmonic cascade presently in use on FEL-2, would allow harmonics as high as 120 enabling to generate coherent pulses down to 2 nm starting from UV lasers. An upgrade of FERMI aimed at reaching the oxygen K-edge requires a profound modification of the FEL configurations and of the main components of the machine, including the linac and the undulator lines. The main aspects of the upgrade strategy will be discussed in this presentation.

  The Fermi free-electron laser (FEL) facility is operating since 2010 providing the user community with ultrashort pulses in the VUV- XUV range. Using the High Gain Harmonic Generation (HGHG) setup, nearly transform-limited pulses with gigawatt peak power are made available. Furthermore, several multicolor and coherent control schemes are possible and highly required from the user community. To meet the request of extending the spectral range over the whole water window, an upgrade strategy of the FERMI facility has recently initiated. During the first phase of the upgrade, the single cascade FEL-1 will be adapted to operate either in Echo Enabled Harmonic Generation (EEHG) or in HGHG. Required modifications can be achieved with limited impact on FERMI operations and will improve FEL-1’s spectral range, spectral quality and flexibility. The second phase includes modification of the FEL-2 setup and will benefit from the experience gained with phase 1. The two phases will proceed in parallel to the linac upgrade aiming at extending the beam energy to 1.8 GeV. We report here details on the upgrade of the FEL-1 foreseen to provide light to users in the new configuration by spring 2023.
