	For realizing high charge and low emittance electron and positron beams in SuperKEKB, we have been making improvements in current laser system for RF-gun. In order to realize more excellent thermal management in current laser system at high repetition rate operation, novel soldering Yb:YAG thin disk and copper tungsten heat sink laser head is manufactured via gold tin solder. Comparing with old design, less residual stress is introduced and more efficient thermal removal can be obtained. These new soldering laser heads are placed into a compact vacuum chamber and cooled by Peltier plates directly. This design can realize higher gain and amplification factor in regenerative amplifier and multi-pass amplifier. In addition, the compact and simple cooling method can achieve excellent thermal management for the purpose of realize laser operation at high repetition rate for following phases of SuperKEKB project. A perspective towards the next step experiment is also presented in this paper.

A motivation for the development of a versatile, programmable source of shaped picosecond pulses for use in photocathode electron gun preinjectors is presented. We present the experimental setup for arbitrary longitudinal pusle shaping of the MAX IV photocathode gun laser.
