Undulators are X-ray sources that are widely utilised in advanced synchrotron radiation sources and freeelectron laser facilities. Due to sustainability and energy efficiency, the development focuses on small-scale, high-field, and especially compact undulators with short period lengths (≤ 10 mm) and narrow magnetic gaps (≤ 4 mm). Therefore, hightemperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, which can provide a high critical current density and high critical magnetic fields at higher temperatures, are extensively used and investigated at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. A new concept of superconducting undulators (SCUs) was introduced and further developed by laser-scribing a meander pattern into the superconducting layer to achieve a quasi-sinusoidal current path through the HTS tape. Here we present the complete and final design of such a compact SCU, in particular our latest results regarding the design of the liner with its tapering in the warm region, as well as the cryogenic cooling concept.
