  Multi-alkali photocathode has excellent features: high quantum efficiency, long lifetime, and excitation by visible light, for example green laser. The multi-alkali cathode is considered to be one of the best candidate of the high brightness electron source of the advanced electron accelerator such as ERL and FEL. We study conditions of multi-alkali evaporations, such as thicknesses, substrate temperature, and evaporation rate, and examine the cathode performances, such as quantum efficiency and extractable current density. Antimony (Sb), potassium (K), and cesium (Cs) are used in our evaporation system.

  Electron source is one of the most important component in the advanced linac. There is a strong demand on the high performance cathode, such as small emittance, high brightness, and short pulse generation. NEA-GaAs photo-cathode is a unique technology which is capable for generating highly polarized and extremely low emittance beam. Quantum efficiency (QE) of the cathode is high in near IR region, so it is favor to generate a high current density beam. These advantages are originated to the Negative Electron Affinity (NEA) surface, but it is fragile so the operational lifetime is limited. A study on a robust NEA surface cathode is reported. According to the hetero-junction model, Cs-Te thin film deposited on GaAs forms a robust NEA surface. We performed the Cs-Te evaporation experiment on a clean GaAs cathode and measured QE spectra. We found that some sample showed a high quantum efficiency up to 900nm wavelength which strongly suggested a NEA surface formation.
