Source Photocathode New photocathode from NLC R&D effort. (T. Maruyama et al., Nucl.Instrum.Meth.A492:199-211,2002 ) High doping for 10-nm GaAs surface overcomes charge limit. Low doping for most of active layer yields high polarization. QE (%) Polarization (%) Gradient-doped cathode structure. Wavelength (nm) New cathode Electrons per pulse Old cathode Laser Power (µJ) No sign of charge limit! Very high-charge polarized electron beams are possible. Small anisotropy in strain results in ~3% analyzing power for residual linear polarization.
