The performance of an accelerator is limited by the quality of the beam produced at the injector. For a Pierce-type diode structure, the cathode-shroud interface and the anode pipe entrance are sources for undesired, irreversible phase space nonlinearities that lead to emittance growth. In this contribution, we present ways to mitigate these nonlinearities by adjusting the cathode-shroud interface to meet the beam edge boundary conditions and by adjusting the solenoidal focusing magnet in the diode region such that the nonlinear focusing magnetic fringe fields compensate the nonlinear defocusing electrical fields of the anode pipe entrance.
