An experimental investigation was carried out to measure the response time of GaAs in negative electron affinity conditions as a photoemitter. During the experiment, the photocathode was excited by a short-pulse (38 ps rms) frequency-doubled Nd:YLF laser. Results show that the rms response time of GaAs is shorter than 40 ps.
