Description
The recent installation of a new photocathode drive laser has significantly improved the reliability of photoinjector operations at the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne National Laboratory. The photoinjector can operate in either high-charge or high-brightness mode. The high-charge mode is ultimately intended to support direct injection from the linac into the booster ring, eliminating the need for charge accumulation performed in the Particle Accumulator Ring (PAR). In contrast, the high-brightness mode optimizes the photoemission source to produce bright, compressed electron bunches that can be delivered to the Linac Extension Area (LEA) for accelerator R&D. This paper discusses the design considerations and initial commissioning results of the photoinjector with the new laser system.
