Abstract

A system (10) for manufacturing a photocathode includes a support (12) and a polishing pad (14) disposed adjacent the support (12). The polishing pad (14) is operable to polish the photocathode in response to movable contact of the photocathode relative to the polishing pad (14). The system (10) also includes a rinsing system (16) coupled to the support (12). The rinsing system (16) is operable to deliver a rinsing agent to the polishing pad (14). The system (10) further includes a control system (62) operable to automatically regulate delivery of the rinsing agent to the rinsing system (16) at a predetermined time period.
