An inexpensive pulsed xenon ion laser with peak output power of about 10kW, pulse duration of 300 ns has been constructed and used as a pumping source for a tunable rhodamine 6G dye laser. 3-mirrors with astigmatism compensated cavity and grating-grazing incidence are used as the dye laser resonator and linewidth of less than 0.1 A is obtained. The dye laser is tunable from 5450~6200l with an total output of 1kW.
