Since the inauguration in 2012, an X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL) facility SACLA has produced a number of significant achievements ranging in ultrafast chemistry, materials science, biology, and x-ray nonlinear optics. High-pressure science to investigate structural dynamics of material, which is compressed by shock waves generated with a high-power laser, is also one of the important applications of XFEL. In this article, current status and future perspectives of SACLA, as well as typical applications for high-pressure sciences, are reviewed.
