Recent advancements in second-generation high-temperature superconducting (2G-HTS) materials have opened new possibilities for superconducting undulator (SCU) technology, particularly in achieving shorter periods and higher magnetic fields. Here, this paper presents the design and analysis of a short-period, as small as 10 mm, 2G-HTS undulator, focusing on magnetic performance, mechanical force minimization, and quench protection. A force-balanced coil pack design is introduced to significantly reduce mechanical stresses on the conductors, eliminating the need for heavy support structures. Rapid prototyping techniques such as3D printing is employed to refine the design for scalability and manufacturability. Correction schemes for end-field effects are developed using a combination of 2G-HTS tapes and NbTi conductors to optimize field integrals. Simulation results demonstrated that optimized magnetic performance and enhanced mechanical stability, positioning 2G-HTS undulators as promising candidates for storage ring and free-electron based light sources.
