Abstract
The recent development of high energy electron accelerators has generated a renewed interest in high current, high polarization electron sources. We have investigated several modifications to a method based on a pumped helium afterglow from which we expect improvements over the performances. These ones include the development of a high power, tunable LNA laser and the application of a new optical pumping scheme to the metastable helium atoms.
