Abstract
The new free-electron laser (FEL) source FERMI at Elettra seeded at 260
nanometers with an external laser has produced the first coherent emission
from the FEL-1 undulator chain tuned at wavelengths of 65 nanometers
(fourth harmonic of the seed laser) and 43 nanometers (sixth harmonic).
This marks the first successful operation of FERMI at Elettra in its planned
configuration, i.e., as a next-generation seeded free-electron laser
source. Over the coming months the commissioning team will continue to
improve the overall performance of the system and the light will be
provided to the first experimental programs. In the meantime the
construction of the FEL-2 will be completed and the commissioning started.
Here I will present the scientific program for the first experiments along
with the strategic road map for the commissioning of the entire facility
and future upgrades.Prof. Fulvio Parmigiani
