ERL light source and FEL require an electron beam of large current and small emittance. In order to realize an electron gun satisfying such requirements, we started developments of a photocathode DC-gun and a new-type NEA-photocathode. The DC-gun consists of a chamber to activate NEA-surface, a 250keV acceleration chamber, and a mode-locked Ti:Sapphire laser. Since extreme high vacuum is essential to obtain a long-life photocathode, we adopt a load-lock system for transporting a photocathode between the chambers, each of which is equipped with an NEG pump. Up to now, we fabricated an electrodes chamber and a high voltage terminal of 250kV and we succeeded in a 250kV high voltage test. We also have suggested a superlattice photocathode as a new-type photocathode with higher performance than an existing technology. Up to now, we fabricated photocathode samples by molecular beam epitaxy and measured quantum efficiency after NEA-surface activation.
