SHINE achieved a major milestone by successfully generating its first free-electron laser light.
On October 21, 2026, the Shanghai High-Repetition-Rate XFEL and Extreme Light Facility (SHINE) achieved a major milestone by successfully generating its first free-electron laser light.
Because the facility’s superconducting accelerator requires an ultra-low temperature environment to operate, the stable transmission, distribution, and purification of cryogenic helium are essential to ensuring stable beam operation. Since the project's inception in 2018, VACREE has been deeply involved in its technical development, undertaking the engineering and manufacturing of core cryogenic and vacuum equipment. Specifically, VACREE supplied high-efficiency multi-channel transfer lines, cryogenic distribution boxes, cryogenic valve boxes, and medium-pressure helium purifiers for the facility.

This achievement underscores VACREE’s continued commitment to advancing cryogenic and vacuum engineering for large-scale scientific facilities worldwide.
