The concept of an ultra-low transverse emittance injector operating in CW mode for an XFELO* was discussed at LINAC-08**. Here we will report the design optimization of the injector, which includes a 100 MHz RF-gun with thermionic cathode, an energy filter to produce short bunches (~0.5 nsec), a velocity bunching section, higher harmonic cavities to minimize longitudinal emittance, two bunch compressors and accelerating sections operating at 400 MHz and 1300 MHz to obtain 540 MeV electrons. The proposed design is capable of producing 40 pC bunches with 0.5 psec rms time width and 0.7 MeV rms energy spread. Most significantly, the transverse rms emittance is kept below 0.11 π μm. The longitudinal emittance and bunch time width can be substantially reduced for low-charge bunches of several pC.
