Abstract of the Disclosure A laser resonator, having multiply folded optical paths in an extended region by a set of front surface reflecting elements, can be used in a gas laser oscillator or amplifier, in either continuous wave mode or pulsed mode. This optical path is folded into larger domains within a polygon area of the laser cavity, thereby achieving increasingly longer laser paths without a corresponding increase in the number of folding elements. The resulting domains fully cover the plane with a grid of evenly spaced and intersecting optical paths. In one embodiment, a waveguide gas laser system with a ceramic block having a multiply folded optical path of intersecting waveguide channels cut into the block. The reflecting mirrors of the laser resonator are integrally attached tot he ceramic block, enhancing the durability of the laser resonator and reducing its size. Since the laser medium is gaseous, the matching of refractive indices is not required.
