A laser system (20) includes a laser for generating seed pulses, and a regenerative amplifier (22) for amplifying seed pulses generated by the seed pulse laser (50). The regenerative amplifier (22) includes a gain-element (30) pumped by optical pump pulses delivered by a pump laser (44), and an optical switch (32, 34) controlled synchronously with the delivery of pump-pulses such that amplified seed pulses can be delivered in a desired sequence different from but related to a constant rate at which optical pump pulses are delivered to the regenerative amplifier (22).
