An amplified tunable picosecond dye laser has been constructed which is pumped by an active-passive mode-locked Nd:YAG laser. The laser is tunable from 555 nm to /gt/700 nm. It provides a maximum of 2-mJ pulses with pulse widths of /similar to/17 ps (FWHM). The tuning range can be extended by frequency doubling and/or mixing with the residual 1064-nm pulses. The dye laser is very stable and relatively inexpensive to construct.
