An X-ray cavity consisting of Bragg crystals will be used to recirculate the spectrally filtered X-rays for repetitive interactions with an electron bunch train and to generate high-power and narrow-bandwidth radiation. In this talk, we review the scientific motivation and recent progress of Cavity-based X-ray FELs. We discuss cavity designs, optics requirements, outcoupling schemes, and the latest experimental results. Finally, we introduce the ongoing RD projects at LCLS*** and European XFEL**** to prove the concept, as well as several Cavity-based proposals to enhance X-ray FEL’s spectral brightness by another two to three orders of magnitude compared to the state of art.}}, }
