Research Abstract |
We have developed a novel photocathode gun gated by laser-induced Schottky-effect since 2006. This new type of gun utilizes a laser's coherency to aim at a compact femtosecond laser oscillator as an IR laser source using Z-polarization on the photocathode. This Z-polarization scheme reduces the laser pulse energy by reducing the cathode work function due to Schottky effect. A hollow laser incidence is applied with a hollow convex lens that is focused after passing the beam through a radial polarizer. According to our calculations (convex lens : NA=0.15), a Z-field of 1 GV/m needs 1.26 MW at peak power for the fundamental wavelength (792 nm) and 0.316 MW for the SHG (396 nm). In the first demonstration of Z-field emission enhancement was done with copper cathode at THG (264 nm). Consequently, we observed 1.4 times enhancement of photoemission at 1.6 GV/m of an averaged laser Z-field on the copper cathode surface by comparing radial and azimuthal polarizations.
