RF phase stabilization for RF photocathode gun through electro-optical monitoring

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10179194
An electro-optical technique is being developed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) to monitor and control the phase of the photocathode laser beam with respect to the RF drive field for the RF photocathode gun. This technique utilizes the RF field induced birefringence which is probed by the photocathode laser beam. A proof-of-principle experiment is described which has been performed using the ATF RF photocathode gun injection system for the linac.
