Output of nuclear pumped laser is increased using mirrors, so multiple optical reflections enlarge lasing-mode volume. Design requires comparatively low thermal neutron flux, uses flux more efficiently. Flux for lasing approaches that available from steady-state reactor. Outputs over 100 watts have been reached.
