The performance of a continuous wave actively mode-locked Nd:phosphate glass regenerative amplifier is described. Pulses as short as 7 ps at 1.054 ..mu..m have been generated at a 100 MHz repetition rate from the laser oscillator. The oscillator output has been amplified by 2 x 10/sup 5/ to 5 ..mu..J/pulse at a repetition rate of 500 Hz.
