We describe the efficient generation of wavelength-tunable picosecond pulses in the deep red and near-infrared spectral regions (approx.6000--8000 A) in a synchronously mode-locked cw dye laser that is pumped directly by 5145-A radiation from an argon ion laser. Operation of the dye laser in the near infrared was achieved with the use of an excitation transfer mixture of commercial laser dyes. With 1 W of average pump power, an average output power of 70 mW was obtained at the peak of the tuning curve.
