High-flux, low-noise Yb-laser platforms for photocathodes
Abstract
Photocathode-based accelerator systems require ultrastable, high-flux lasers with precise synchronization to RF sources. The MENHIR-1030 seed laser platform delivers 10 nJ pulse energy, excellent beam quality, and long-term operational stability. Sub-20 fs long-term RF-to-optical synchronization ensures reliable photocathode drive. System design, performance data, and integration results are presented, showcasing an industry-ready laser front end tailored for next-generation accelerator environments.
