We present detailed schematic diagrams for a cavity dumper circuit suitable for use with a cw dye laser that is mode locked. The dumper frequency is an integral harmonic of the mode-locked frequency and the average output power is monitored to protect the dumper transducer. A fast logic countdown circuit is used to provide synchronization of the 400-MHz dumper pulse with the mode-locked pulse at rates slower than the 100-MHz mode-locked frequency.
