ABSTRACT:
A laser optical cavity extends between two end reflectors (11, 12) and is defined by at least three sections. A number of folding reflectors (14) are provided for directing radiation emerging from one section into the next. An active medium is contained in the sections and excitation means are provided to produce laser action. A rigid support member (10) supports the end reflectors (11, 12) and the folding reflectors (14) around a generally cylindrical surface such that a continuous optical path extends between the end reflectors (11, 12) by way of each folding reflector (14) in turn. At least three of the laser sections extend across a substantial part of the area with the cylinder (10) and each section crosses at least one other section at or near to the axis of said cylinder as viewed along that axis.
