We proposed Shottoky effect-gated photocathode RF gun using z-polarization of laser source. Radically polarized laser propagation modes exist theoretically and were recently generated practically. Focusing a radically polarized beam on the photocathode, the z-polarization of laser is generated at the focusing point. The generated Z-polarization can exceed an electrical field of 1GV/m easily with fundamental wavelength from compact femtosecond laser systems. According to our calculations, the z-field of 1GV/m needs 100MW at peak power for fundamental wavelength (790nm) and 25MW for SHG. In the field of 1GV/m, the work function of copper cathode reduces ~2 eV. The quantum efficiency will be ~10-4 at SHG by the Shottoky effect associated with the 1GV/m. This Shottky effect can be used as a gate of photo-emission process. In our design of Shottoky effect-gated Photocathode, the fundamental is used as gate pulse and SHG as laser source for photo-emission process. The same single laser pulse can also gate its emission by itself. To keep normal incidence on the cathode, we developed modified-Cessegrain-type incident optics combining with axicon lens pair. In the first test run, we are preparing z-polarizer for SHG to generate radial and azimuth polarizations. Comparing photo-emission process with these polarizations, we make clear the feasibility of this new concept of photocathode.
