Abstract

In this chapter, we first give a quick review of the general idea and applications of the accelerator-based light sources. Then a brief introduction of the development history and current status of high-gain FEL facilities around the world are given. After that, we show the evolutions of high-gain FEL schemes either based on SASE or external seeding lasers. The advantages and limits of these schemes have also been discussed.
