The physics and technology of x-ray sources based on self-amplified-spontaneous-emission (SASE) are reviewed, together with an overview of the main activities in this field around the world. The design status of a 1.5 {angstrom} SASE-FEL at SLAC, the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) is described.
