According to the three-step electron emission model, the electron emission process of a multi-alkali photocathode was studied by Monte-Carlo method. Simulation results are compared with experimental data in related literatures. When the photon energy is near the photoemission threshold of the photocathode, the obtained quantum efficiency curves and electron energy distribution curves are in good agreement with experimental data. Based on the above model, the photo-voltage effect and space charge effect on the electron emission characteristics of multi-alkali photocathode were studied. Results show that the threshold laser energy density of the photocathode is about 8 under photo-voltage effect, and 2.23 under space charge effect. An experimental investigation of the saturation effect of multi-alkali photocathode irradiated with 266 nm laser was conducted. The saturation threshold laser energy density was about 2 , indicating that space charge effect is the main factor limiting its photoelectron emission capability.
