AB  - The physical and technological challenges of FELs become quite demanding with decreasing wavelength, but in recent years X-ray FELs with wavelengths in the Ångstrøm regime (1 Å = 0.1 nm =10<sup>−10</sup>m) have become a reality with the successful commissioning and operation of the “Linac Coherent Light Source” LCLS [1], the world’s first FEL providing atomic resolution. In this chapter, we discuss the most important aspects and challenges of X-ray FELs and present some of the excellent experimental results achieved at LCLS and the second facility of this kind, the “Spring-8 Angstrom Compact free-electron LAser” SACLA [2]. Low-gain FEL oscillators in the X-ray regime have been proposed [3] but not yet demonstrated, they are not considered here. Comprehensive information and technical details on X-ray FELs are found in the design reports of LCLS [4] and the European XFEL [5]. Further valuable information is presented in a review article by Huang and Kim [6].
