  Alkali-antimonide photocathodes have a very high quantum efficiency and a low intrinsic emittance, making them excellent electron sources for Energy Recovery Linacs, X-ray Free Electron Lasers, Electron Cooling, and Ultrafast Electron Diffraction applications. Despite numerous studies of their photoemission spectra, there has been nearly no conclusive experimental investigation of their basic electronic and optical properties (e.g. band gap, electron affinity, optical constants, etc.), which determine the nature of photoemission. Therefore, the systematic study and deep understanding of fundamental characteristics of alkali-antimonide photocathodes are required in order to develop next-generation electron sources with improved crystal and electronic structures to fit specific application. Here we report on the development of an experimental setup to measure photoluminescence (PL) spectra from alkali-antimonide photocathodes, enabling estimation of a material band gap and defect state energies, and provide preliminary results for Cs3Sb films.
