The possibility of developing a photochemical setup on the basis of an optically pumped ammonia laser with an intracavity photoreactor is proved. The obtained values of the cavity 'implication' factor {gamma} are comparable with those of intracavity systems based on a CO{sub 2} laser. The conditions for achieving the maximum energy in the focusing cavity are determined and the ways to control the shape of its caustic are indicated.
