Abstract
Electrons generated by ultrashort laser pulses have proven to be excellent sources for high-brightness electron guns,1 much sought after for short-wavelength FEL, and high-energy accelerators. The brightness of the e-beam can be increased by increasing the current and decreasing the emittance. We explore the feasibility of increasing the current and the current density, using photoemission with subpicosecond laser pulses on metal cathodes.
