Abstract
In a monolithic ring laser, the ring laser crystal is mounted in a monolithic heated support structure including a layer of solder which is readily softened by elevating the temperature of the heater to permit adjustment and readjustment of the optical alignment of the crystal. The monolithic crystal support includes a block of thermally insulative material interposed between the heating element and the surrounds for thermally isolating the heater and laser crystal from the surrounds.
