Proceedings of the 2003 Bipolar/BiCMOS Circuits and Technology Meeting (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37440)  
Sparked by the highly successful operation of energy recovery linac (ERL) free electron lasers (FELs) at TJNAF [1] and JAERI [2] and also by the novel MARS light source (LS) proposal from BINP [3], numerous facilities worldwide are now considering ERL based light source projects. A survey of the various light sources and FELs based on ERL technology will be given. An overview of the critical R&D issues that must be addressed in future ERLs will also be presented.
