Recent developments for a source of polarized electrons at the superconducting electron linear accelerator S-DALINAC at the Technische Universität Darmstadt will be presented. The polarized electron beam will be produced by photoemission from a ‘strained-layer’ GaAs/GaAsP cathode. The results of detailed simulations of the cathode geometry and of the beam dynamics will be shown. A ‘load-lock’ chamber for the preparation of GaAs photocathodes has been adapted from the source of polarized electrons at the MAMI accelerator at Mainz [1] and has been assembled. A semiconductor laser system is presently under development; pulsed operation of the seed laser with a repetition rate of 3 GHz has been achieved. A compact Mott polarimeter based on the design of a device developed for MAMI is presently under construction.
