The concept of a photocathode injection gun driven by several harmonically related phase-locked RF sources is considered. This concept is aimed at providing electron bunches with parameters as follows: charge/bunch ≥1 nC, bunch energy 5-10 MeV, bunch width 20-40 ps, and fundamental frequency = 1.3 GHz. In comparison with a conventional single mode 1.5 cell injection gun, multi-harmonic excitation can allow operation with lower RF power input, lower Ohmic losses, and lower beam emittance (for a given cathode field).
