Generating a 100 nC, 15 ps pulse length electron beam at the AWA requires a stable laser system capable of producing 1--3 ps, 5 mJ at 248 nm with the ability to shape the wave front. We have installed a combined Coherent ultra fast 702 dye laser and Lambda Physik excimer pulsed amplification system which meets these requirements. A device has been built to produce shaped laser pulses. Detailed characterizations of the laser system, its associated optics development, and timing/amplitude stabilization are presented.
