A compact CO/sub 2/-NH/sub 3/FIR laser system, with an NH/sub 3/ laser cavity inserted in the pump CO/sub 2/ laser cavity, was designed. Temporally smooth and reproducible single mode NH/sub 3/ laser pulses with an energy of 5 mJ (20 kW peak power) were obtained at the 152..mu..m line when optically pumped by the injection-locked single-mode CO/sub 2/ laser with a pulse energy of 0.3 J.
