DFB dye laser pumped by a stabilized CVL designed for laser spectroscopy, laser sounding of atmospheric aerosol parameters, etc. is reported. The dye laser configuration is the oscillator-amplifier chain in a single optical cell. The laser spectral line width was measured to be 0.02 nm for an average power of 0.2 W. The CVL average output was stabilized within 2% at a fixed PRR and the pulse energy stability was found to be within 5% for PRR's of 5-15 kHz. CVL provided average powers of 5 and 3 W for a plane-parallel laser cavity and an unstable resonator geometry, respectively.
