We describe the development of photocathodes based on Potassium-Cesium-Antimonide that satisfy many of the key requirements of future light sources, such as robustness, high quantum efficiency when excited with visible light and low transverse emittance. We have demonstrated QE of 7% at 532 nm, a normalized transverse emittance of 0.36 μm at 543 nm and 3 MV/m field gradient[1]. We have also shown that the material can be relatively robust to residual water contamination and we have extracted current densities of 1 mA/mm² with very long lifetime. We believe that this work is an important step forward in FEL development where high repetition rate is required.
