A laser system includes a laser diode that, upon activation, selectively produces a continuous wave of laser light or uniformly spaced, intermittent pulses of laser light. The system further includes a laser focuser with a plurality of lenses that focus the laser light produces by the laser diode and direct the laser light to an optical resonator. The optical resonator includes a lasing medium that, when intersected by the laser light from the laser diode, produces a beam of laser light with a wavelength that may be used for therapeutic treatment. The system is operable to produce the therapeutic laser light when the laser diode is operating in either the continuous wave mode or the pulsed mode, without moving components of the system relative to one another.
