  The Compact ERL at KEK is a test accelerator to develop ERL technologies and their possible applications. The first target of injector operation to demonstrate IR-FEL was to generate high bunch charge electron beams with low longitudinal emittance and short bunch length. In 2020, the injector was operated with the bunch charge of 60 pC, the DC gun voltage of 480 kV, the injector energy of 5 MeV and the bunch length of 2 ps rms, and the required beam quality for the IR-FEL has been achieved for a single-pass operation mode. The next target is to demonstrate IR-FEL generation for recirculation mode. The injector energy is decreased to 3.5 MeV due to a limitation of the energy ratio between injection and recirculation beams. Moreover, the DC gun voltage decreases to 390 kV due to the troubles of the DC gun. Therefore, control of the space charge effect is more important to design and optimize the beam transport condition of the injector. In this report, a strategy of the injector optimization together with its realization results and future prospects are summarized.

  A high-power EUV light source using ERL-based FEL can supply multiple semiconductor exposure de-vices. There are some requirements in the whole and its injector, in particular, and their examination and necessary development are being carried out. The requirement for the injector was to generate high bunch charge beams at a high-repetition rate. In this regard, a space charge effect should be treated carefully in the design of the injector. For FEL operation, not only short bunch length and small transverse emittance but also small longitudinal emittance are required. By using a multi-objective genetic algorithm, we are minimizing them at the exit of the injector to investigate the injector performance and its effect on the FEL generation. In this study, we describe the injector optimization strategies and possible options suited for the ERL-based EUV-FEL.
