Abstract Photoinjectors has witnessed great progress in the past few decades, with low duty cycle high gradient guns, such as normal conducting S/L band gun, pushing the peak beam brightness frontier, and CW guns, such as DC gun, SRF gun and VHF gun, pushing the average beam brightness frontier. Due to different degrees of complexity, pulsed high gradient photoinjectors are usually optimized by manual scans, while CW photoinjectors are optimized by multi-objective genetic optimizers. In this paper, a multi-objective genetic optimizer is used to revisit S-band photoinjector beam brightness optimizations, showing a trade-off between peak current and transverse emittance, with the optimized injector layout depending on bunch charge and peak current. For 200 pC case, the final beam core brightness at injector exit is close to cathode maximum brightness in the 'cigar beam' regime. Assuming a thermal emittance of 0.5 μm/mm and a beam charge of 200 pC, about 90 nm slice emittance at 20 A peak current is achieved.
