A laser includes a laser head and a power supply. At least two resonator mirrors define a resonator cavity. A gain medium is positioned in the resonator cavity. A temperature controller is positioned in the laser head and is coupled to the gain medium. The temperature controller maintains the gain medium at a temperature of 25 degrees C. or greater. A pump source supplies a pump beam to the gain medium and producing an output beam. The power source is coupled to the pump source.
