Abstract
A laser system has a high reflector and an output coupler defining a laser cavity with an optical axis. Included is a pump source, a mode-locking apparatus and at least one fold mirror positioned in the laser cavity along the optical axis. A gain media is positioned adjacent to the fold mirror. The gain media has an overlap region where an intracavity beam entering the gain media substantially overlaps the intracavity beam exiting the gain media.
