Abstract The European XFEL is a 3.4 km long free-electron laser (FEL) which will deliver radiation in the wavelength regime of 0.05 to 4.7 nm. To avoid problems with longitudinal microbunching instabilities a laser heater is implemented. It heats up the electron bunches which will improve the overall brightness level of the FEL. I report the commissioning steps undertaken and the first recorded heating outputs observed in the injector section.
