Abstract

A flat top laser beam is used to generate an electron beam with a photocathode that can include an alkali halide. The flat top profile can be generated using an optical array. The laser beam can be split into multiple laser beams or beamlets, each of which can have the flat top profile. A phosphor screen can be imaged to determine space charge effects or electron energy of the electron beam.
