  At Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz measurements of the time response of photocathodes can be performed routinely at the 'Testquellenlabor' (source testlab) using a deflector cavity. Short electron bunches are generated using a femtosecond tunable laser system operating at 800 nm for best polarization/QE if GaAs is used. In our experiment the laser radiation is also frequency-doubled to 400 nm in order to compare the time response at different wavelengths. First measurements show a strong reduction of the longitudinal beam profile at 400nm without the trailing electrons which are typically observed at 800 nm.
