PROGRESS OF THE COMMISSIONING OF THE TEST FEL AT MAX-lab

In English In a collaboration between MAX-lab and BESSY a test
facility for Harmonic Generation Free Electron Laser is
being constructed at MAX-lab. The setup uses the existing
MAX-lab injector together with a Ti:Sa 263 nm laser
system, used for both the gun and seeding, and an optical
klystron consisting of a modulator, a chicane and a radiator.
The different parts of the system have been installed and
commissioning started during the fall of 2007. In this paper
the progress of the commissioning of the Test FEL and our
initial results are presented.
