Abstract
A circulating laser beam is generated in an oscillator having a gain medium. The laser beam is dumped from the oscillator to produce a laser beam pulse. The laser beam pulse is expanded and returned through the same gain medium for amplification thereof. The circulating laser beam and returning laser beam pulse travel in different paths through gain medium allowing the use of a small Pockels cell in the oscillator.
