abstract = {{The Inverse Compton Scattering (ICS) X-ray source of ELSA accelerator at CEA-DAM, presents an efficient approach for generating X-rays with a compact linac. The source consists of a 30 MeV, 15 ps rms, up to 3 nC electron beam; and a table-top Nd:YAG laser. X-rays are produced in the 10-80 keV range, higher X-ray energies achieved with frequency doubling of the laser. The yield is increased by a factor of 8 thanks to an optical mirror system developed at CEA, folding the laser beam path and accumulating successive laser pulses. We present a new version of the device, with improvement of mechanical constraints management, adjunction of motorized mirrors, and a new imaging system. A Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) system was also designed, enabling higher amplification levels without exceeding laser damage threshold. The uniqueness of this CPA system lies in its use of a short wavelength bandwidth, ±250 pm after Self-Phase Modulation (SPM) broadening, and a line density of 1850 lines/mm for the gratings of the compressor. The pulse is stretched with a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) before amplification in Nd:YAG amplifiers, and compressed by a double pass grating compressor.}},
