  For several years now, caesium telluride photocathodes are successfully used in the photoinjector of the free electron laser FLASH at DESY, Germany. They show a high quantum efficiency and long lifetime. The injector produces routinely thousand of bunches per second with a single bunch charge in the range of 0.1 to 1.5 nC. Recent results on lifetime, quantum efficiency, darkcurrent, and operating experience is reported. At DESY, a new preparation system has been set-up. First cathodes have been produced and tested successfully.

  The main aim of the Photo-Injector Test Facility at DESY, location Zeuthen (PITZ) is to develop and test an FEL photo-injector system capable of producing high charge electron bunches of lowest possible transverse emittance, which has a fundamental impact on FEL performance. Recent measurement results at PITZ showed a fairly small electron beam transverse projected emittance [1] which increased interest in the thermal emittance and its contribution to the overall electron beam emittance budget. Therefore thermal emittance was investigated at PITZ. Results of these studies are presented and discussed.
