The fourth wall is configured to transmit a portion of the laser beam into the chamber to form an input beam incident upon the first wall. The first wall is configured to reflect the input beam onto the second wall, which is configured to reflect the input beam onto the third wall, which is configured to reflect the input beam onto the fourth wall. The fourth wall is configured to reflect a portion of the input beam to form a further input beam incident upon the first wall and to transmit another portion of the input beam out of the chamber to form an output laser beam.
