Popis: The echo-enabled harmonic generation (EEHG) scheme holds promising prospects for efficiently generating intense coherent radiation at very high harmonics of a conventional ultraviolet seed laser. We report the lasing of the EEHG free-electron laser (FEL) at an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelength with a seeded FEL facility, the Shanghai soft x-ray FEL. For the first time, we have benchmarked the basic theory of EEHG by measuring the bunching factor distributions over one octave down to the EUV region. Our results demonstrated the key advantages of the EEHG FEL, i.e., generation of very high harmonics with a small laser-induced energy spread and insensitivity to beam imperfections, and marks a great step towards fully coherent x rays with the EEHG scheme.
