Abstract
The invention provides a compactly built solid state laser, which can be pumped by high power semiconductor laser diodes and uses two or more laser crystals as the laser gain or amplification media, which crystals can also contain the resonator mirrors. As desired per the invention, linear, monolithic folded or ring-shaped laser resonators can be formed to provide very efficient production of frequency doubled laser radiation.
