A dye laser controlled semiconductor reflection switch has been used to gate subnanosecond pulses of 10.6-μm radiation from the output of a ∼1-W cw CO2 laser. Upon injection into a multiatmosphere CO2 oscillator, high-power mode-locked pulses having a duration ≲200 ps and a peak single pulse energy ≳10 mJ were obtained. Synchronization of individual mode-locked dye laser and CO2 pulses has also been demonstrated.
