The new trend is to operate storage ring based light sources in a “chromatic mode” with a distributed dispersive function in the straight sections for low emittance. The electron bunch heating induced by a storage ring free electron laser (FEL) has been investigated for such optics, and exhibits a more complex saturation process as compared to a usual achromatic mode of operation without dispersion in the straight sections. The correlated measured FEL power is then interpreted in terms of the electron bunch heating and compared to theoretical expectations. Experiments performed at UVSOR-II are here reported. The theoretical interpretation of the new saturation phenomenon is then discussed.
