Abstract

A high charge and polarization gradient-doped strained GaAs photocathode was discussed. A 5.0-7.5 nm p-type surface layer doped to 5 × 1019 cm-3 was found to overcome the surface charge limit while maintaining high beam polarization. The peak current capability was also determined by overlaying short pulse laser. Results showed that a peak current as high as 9.2 A was obtained.
