Laser Development for Future Photocathode Research at SLAC

Description

This report summarizes results of recent upgrades to SLAC's polarized source drive laser system. A Q-switching system has been incorporated into the flashlamp-pumped Ti:Sapphire laser system. The Q-switched laser provides energies up to 5 mJ for a 200 ns long pulse. Slow Q-switching provides control over length and shape of the laser pulse. A peak current of > 5.5 A has been demonstrated using a GaAs photocathode illuminated by this laser system
