Laser apparatus includes a plurality of optical elements 10-13 and 16-18, Figure 1, which together define a folded laser optical cavity. A laser active medium 14 and flashtube pumping source 15 are located within the cavity. The components of the laser are supported by a single mass of material 19, Figure 2, having the same thermal and mechanical characteristics as the optical elements. <IMAGE> |
