A laser system, which is composed of a gain switched diode seed laser and a single-pass diode optical amplifier, is used to drive the polarized electron source at Jefferson Lab. The system emits pulsed laser light synchronized to the accelerating cavity radio frequency (rf) at 1497 MHz or the third subharmonic, 499 MHz. The maximum average output power from the laser system is 500 mW and the optical pulsewidth is 60 to 80 ps. The laser system is compact and very reliable operating remotely for many days without attention. {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
