Photoemission properties (quantum efficiency, spectral response, and lifetime) of various GaN based photocathodes are summarized, including p-doped samples in its hexagonal phase, cubic GaN and a more exotic 2-D hole gas sample. The 2-D hole contains no dopant impurity but achieves high conductivity via polarization fields produced at the heterojunction of GaN and AlN. For efficient electron production, cesium is used to achieve Negative Electron Affinity. Proceedings of the 13th International Particle Accelerator Conference, IPAC2022, Bangkok, Thailand
