Based on home-made amorphous cores and semiconductor switch, an all-solid-state exciter(ASSE) for pumping a corona preionized mini TEA CO2 laser has been developed, which uses silicon controlled rectifier, pulse transformer and a two-stage magnetic pulse compression system. Analysis and measurements of energy transfer efficiency are made to optimize system performance and minimize system volume. Energy transfer efficiency is over 83% for the magnetic pulse compression, and over 75% for the ASSE. Interfacing to the laser with discharge volume of 29 cm3, at 100 kPa, 22 kV discharge peak voltage and 100 ns discharge current rise time are observed. Output laser pulse with energy of 109 mJ and pulse width of 70 ns is gained. The laser is capable of operating at 100 Hz und
