The S-DALINAC Polarized Injector (SPIn) uses GaAs photocathodes to provide pulsed and/or polarized electron beams for nuclear-structure investigations. Recently, a test facility for Photo-Cathode Activation, Test and Cleaning using atomic-Hydrogen \mbox{(Photo-CATCH)} has been developed. This setup uses an inverted-insulator geometry for the photo-electron gun. Currently, tests and optimizations are conducted at \mbox{Photo-CATCH} in order to implement this new gun design at SPIn. We will present the current status of \mbox{Photo-CATCH}, the planned upgrade of SPIn (aimed at an operational voltage of 200 kV) and future measurements.

For high-current applications of GaAs photocathodes it is necessary to maximize the charge lifetime of the cathode material to ensure reliable operation. By means of cryogenic cooling of the electrode, the local vacuum conditions around the source can be improved due to cryogenic adsorption of reactive rest-gas molecules at the surrounding walls. Furthermore, the cooling also allows a higher laser power deposited in the material, resulting in higher currents that can be extracted from the cathode. Ion-backbombardment is expected to be reduced using electrostatic bending of the electrons behind the cathode. To measure the characteristics of such an electron source, a dedicated set-up is being developed at the Photo-CATCH test facility in Darmstadt.
