Abstract
A laser assembly and method of operating the assembly are described in which a pump beam is directed through an end-pumped solid-state laser gain medium four or more times. The pump beam is directed at a slight angle through a first end of the medium, reflects off the inner surface of the second, opposite end (to form a 'V'), and then reflected by an external or integrated mirror back through the first end and off the inner surface of the opposite end again (back through the 'V').
