In a laser () with a laser resonator (), the laser resonator () has a non-linear optical loop mirror ('), NOLM, which is adapted to guide counter-propagating portions of laser pulses, and to bring the counter-propagating portions of laser pulses into interference with each other at an exit point () of the NOLM (&#x2032;). The non-linear optical loop mirror (&#x2032;) contains a non-reciprocal optical element (&#x2032;) on a linear section of the NOLM. In addition to the NOLM, the laser resonator () has a linear cavity section. The linear section of the NOLM and the linear cavity section () are reassembled on a microoptical bench () or within a cylindrical carrier ().
