AB - High-brightness photoinjectors operating in a continuous wave (CW) mode are required for many advanced applications, such as CW X-ray FEL, ERL light source, electron coolers for hadron beams and electron-ion colliders and so on. Now, three types of CW electron guns are available: DC gun, SRF gun and normal conducting RF gun, which are under intense development in different institutes based on local expertise and application demands. Compared to pulsed guns, both beam energy and brightness from CW guns are compromised due to a lower acceleration gradient. Flattop laser shaping has been applied in both pulsed and CW guns to improve beam emittance. In this paper, ellipsoidal laser shaping is applied in CW photoinjectors to improve beam brightness, and preliminary ASTRA simulations are presented.
