Current status of the JAERI superconducting RF linac driven free-electron laser has been reported to describe some details of the FEL device and application researches. In the presentation, several progresses and achievements itimized below have been reproted briefly. Firstly a semi-perpetual, non-stop and continous operation of the JAERI cryogenic and refrigeration system is only available in the world for the JAERI superconducting linac-based FEL. Secondly a conceptual design and each vital component of the ERL(energy recovery linac) light souce has recently been developed and progressed quickly as the next-generation light source. Thirdly,large-scaled industrial applications have been briefly reported here.
