Abstract

The possibility of the amplification of picosecond 10&#x00A0;&#x03BC;m pulses to gigawatt powers in an optically pumped 20&#x00A0;atmosphere CO2 laser is shown using numerical simulations. Multi-millijoule 4.3&#x00A0;&#x03BC;m pulses generated by a tunable Fe:ZnSe laser are considered for pumping.
