  For several years, cesium telluride photocathodes have been successfully used in the photoinjector of the Free-Electron-Laser FLASH at DESY, Germany. They show a high quantum efficiency and long lifetime and produce routinely thousands of bunches per second with a single bunch charge mostly in the range of 0.3 to 1 nC. Recent studies on lifetime, quantum efficiency, dark current, and operating experience is reported. At DESY, a new preparation system has been set-up. First cathodes have been produced and tested.

  The injector of the European XFEL will use a third harmonic RF system at 3.9 GHz to flatten the RF curvature after the first accelerating module before the first bunch compression stage. This paper presents qualification tests of the prototype cavities and the status of the activities for the realization of the third harmonic section of the European XFEL towards its commissioning due in 2014.
