A rugged resonator for a laser includes a laser pump housing. An X-fold resonator assembly is configured to receive and hold the laser pump housing. The resonator includes at least four mirrors, a first, a second, a third, and a fourth mirror. The first mirror is configured to receive a first incident laser beam from the first end and to reflect a first reflected beam to reflect as a third reflected beam from the third mirror. The second mirror is configured to receive a second incident laser beam from the second end and reflecting a second reflected beam to intersect the first reflected beam and to reflect as a fourth reflected beam from the fourth mirror. An optical coupler is affixed to an optics plate and configured to receive the third reflected beam. A high reflector is affixed to the optics plate and configured to receive the fourth reflected beam.
A rugged resonator for a laser, the resonator comprising:
An X-fold resonator assembly, the resonator assembly configured to receive and hold the laser pump housing including a laser gain medium having a first and a second end, the X-fold and further configured to receive and hold an optics plate assembly, the resonator assembly including:
A method for resonating a beam from a laser gain medium, the method comprising:
