Abstract One direction towards compact Free Electron Lasers is to replace the conventional linac by a laser plasma driven beam, provided proper electron beam manipulation to handle the value of the energy spread and of the divergence is done. Applying seeding techniques enables also to reduce the required undulator length. The rapidly developing LWFA are already able to generate synchrotron radiation. With an electron divergence of typically 1 mrad and an energy spread of the order of 1 %, an adequate beam manipulation through the transport to the undulator is needed for FEL amplification. A test experiment for the demonstration of FEL amplification with a LWFA is under preparation in the frame of the COXINEL ERC contract. A specific design of electron beam transfer line following different steps with strong focusing variable strength permanent magnet quadrupoles, an energy de-mixing chicane with conventional dipoles and second set of quadrupoles for further dedicated focusing in the undulator has been investigated. Beam transfer simulations and expected FEL power in the XUV will be presented.
