We discuss a new method for the production of trains of FEL radiation pulses based on the FEL emission driven by a comb-like electron beam. In addition, we present recent experimental results on the two color FEL emission as generated at the SPARC LAB facility: A train of two short (<200 fs) electron bunches, almost overlapped in time, with a comb-like energy distribution, has been injected in the undulator, giving rise to FEL pulses at two characteristic frequencies with multi-peaked time structure. This scheme shows also the versatility of the SPARC photo-injector to generate and manipulate such energy and time distributions. © 2014 Elsevier B.V.
