Abstract For realizing higher charge and low emittance electron and positron beams in SuperKEKB, we have been making improvements in laser system for RF-gun. The difficulty in controlling thermomechanical distortions has been one of the most important factors for preserving high laser conversion efficiency of infrared-to-ultraviolet and operating at higher repetition rate. We demonstrated that efficient removal of waste heat can be realized by adopting Yb:YAG and copper bonding composite via Au-Sn solder. On the other hand, we proposed the novel design of the cascade laser configuration. Base on this, we can improve the quantum efficiency by utilizing other Yb ions doped crystals as active medium which are pumped by 1035 nm Yb:YAG laser. Excellent thermal management and high charge beams have been achieved by improvements of these two aspects. Additionally, in order to employ high duty ratio pump system and realize laser operation at high repetition rate, we investigated the laser operation in cryogenic environment. A perspective towards the next step experiment is also presented in this paper.
