A compact convertible single pass (SP)/double pass (DP) optical system is disclosed. The convertible optical system is convertible in the sense that the optical system can be configured to have any one of multiple configurations, including SP/DP, DP/SP, just SP, or just DP. This flexibility in the configuration is made possible by a compact baseplate with various predefined mounting points for the various optical elements required for the different configurations. Further, there is significant commonality among the optical elements required to implement the various configurations. For this reason, if one is cost constrained, one can start with the compact baseplate and populate it with the optical elements required for either the SP or DP configuration and later add the optical elements required to create the SP/DP or DP/SP configuration as funding permits.
