Abstract The first alkali antimonide photocathode was prepared and inserted into the BNL 704 MHz SRF gun. An excimer laser cleaning system was installed in a cathode deposition chamber and the cleaning technique developed previously was used in the first cathode preparation. We also demonstrated that oxidized cathode can be removed by exposing it to the same excimer laser. In this paper, we show the set up of the incorporated laser cleaning system and the QE enhancement of alkali antimony photocathode. The vacuum evolution at transport cart and QE measurement system are also discussed.
