The SSUK scheme is similar to ones consi- copropagated wave, then in a straight section it was dered in [11], [12]. It has two undulators also but does not grouped in the bunches and in the second undulator (ra- include an X-ray monochromator or an amplifier located diator) the bunched beam emitted a coherent undulator in between. The first undulator stage in [11] operates as radiation (UR) on the lowest or higher harmonics. Inverse the FEL amplifier in the SASE linear regime.
