A pulsed Ti : sapphire laser with a Z-folded cavity, which was pumped by a frequency-doubled Nd : YAG laser, was developed. A laser output energy of 822 $mu$J with a pulsewidth of 5 ns and an output efficiency of 27.4% was obtained at a center wavelength of 790 nm using an output coupler of 18% reflectance. The slope efficiency was 35%. The output beam diameter was 0.9 mm, and the divergence angle was 1.8 mrad. The spectrum tunability was about 120 nm from 740 nm to 860 nm with a FWHM of 90 nm at an 18% output coupler and a pumping energy of 3 mJ.
