N2 - A flashlamp pumped dye laser system is described. The flashlamp works in the crowbar mode and was especially developed for this laser system. The laser has been operated with rhodamine 6G (λ ≈ 600 nm) and coumarine 1H (λ ≈ 470 nm) with an output energy of up to 1 J per pulse. With a single etalon a linewidth of 0.2 nm was achieved in a pulse of 3-6 μs length. The maximum repetition rate is 2 pps, limited by the high voltage power supply.
