Abstract For injector linac of SuperKEKB project, the 5 nC electron beams with double-bunch is expected to be generated in the photocathode RF gun. For the repetition rate of electrum beam, the optional of 2 Hz, 5 Hz, 25 Hz and 50 Hz are requested. Although, more than 5 nC electron with single-bunch has been generated in the 2 Hz and 5 Hz, when the repetition rate increases to 25 Hz, the condition of the laser amplifier system such as the thermal lens effect is changed seriously. To correspond to 25 Hz repetition rate, the ytterbium-doped laser system was reformed. An AuSu (80:20) heat-dissipating solder is employed to reduce the thermal lens effect. Because of the damage threshold limitation of the thin-disk crystal and optical mirrors, Some improvement were performed to increase the quality of the pulses rather than the amplify power, which cause the SHG conversion efficiency is up to 60% and 30% with 2ω and 4ω respectively. More than 3 nC electron beam is obtained with 25 Hz.
