ABSTRACT
The first superconducting (SC) insertion devices were designed, fabricated, and installed on electron storage ring more than 30 years ago and used for generation of synchrotron radiation (SR) in Budker INP. Since then, a wide experience of manufacturing and use of such SC insertion devices as SC wave length shifters, multipole wigglers, and superbend is accumulated. A review of various types of SC insertion devices for light sources is given in the report. Their basic characteristics as SR sources are discussed.
