In the surface analysis and the manufacture of photocathode the cesium ion source shows some advantages as compared with the neutral cesium source. According to the principle of surface ionization, a cesium ion source is manufactured with porous tungsten and cesium chromate. A tablet of porous tungsten and a nickel tube are welded by a laser beam. The ion source is heated to about 1000K io terms of an indirect heating oven and its experimental results are given.
