	Recent advances in accelerator physics and SR research have generated the need for high-power lasers in the SPEAR3 accelerator complex. On the injector side, two lasers are being used to test different photocathode materials and to provide photo-assisted emission from the standard dispenser cathode RF gun. For the storage ring, both a TiSa oscillator and a fiber laser locked to the RF master oscillator have been used to characterize short-pulse electron bunches in cross-correlation experiments. These lasers are also used in SR experiments for pump-probe characterization of materials. In this paper we review the laser-based systems, preliminary results and outlook for the future.

Recent advances in accelerator physics and SR research have generated the need for high-power lasers in the SPEAR3 accelerator complex. On the injector side, two lasers are being used to test different photocathode materials and to provide photo-assisted emission from the standard dispenser cathode RF gun. For the storage ring, both a TiSa oscillator and a fiber laser locked to the RF master oscillator have been used to characterize short-pulse electron bunches in cross-correlation experiments. These lasers are also used in SR experiments for pump-probe characterization of materials. In this paper we review the laser-based systems, preliminary results and outlook for the future.
