  We describe the upgrade of the UCLA Pegasus advanced photoinjector laboratory with a new terawatt laser amplifier. This will allow the investigation of a photogun as a source for direct and plasma based laser acceleration. External injection promises to take advantage of the precision and high brightness capabilities offered by state-of-the-art RF photogun technology to increase beam quality and shot-to-shot reproducibility.
