The radiation therapy of cancer is developing to un-uniform irradiation as the Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), for reduce dose to normal tissue. Toward the IMRT, optical modulation of electron beam is studying by a photocathode RF gun. The photocathode RF gun can generate a low emittance electron beam by laser light. Because of the low emittance beam, the modulated electron beam is able to accelerate keeping shape. Electron beam were monitored by CCD cameras measuring the luminescence of the scintillator. Fundamental data such as the spatial resolution and the contrast of the optical intensity modulated electron beam are necessary. Spatial Resolution and Contrast of the Intensity Modulated Electron Beam by a Photocathode RF Gun will be reported. If the shape of the modulated electron beam is different, it may not keep beam shape from the non-symmetrically of the repulsion of the bunch inside. It will be reported that the relations of the beam-shape and the keeping ability of beam.
