This patent describes a laser resonator. It comprises: an active medium within the resonator capable of supporting laser action; a plurality of solid blocks disposed within the laser resonator, each block having a smaller, multiply folded waveguide channel formed therein; and a multiplicity of mirrors disposed within the resonator. The mirrors being located around the perimeter of the solid blocks, the mirrors being arranged to produce a larger, multiply folded optical path along the waveguide channels.
