Zusammenfassung:	According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a system for providing thermal management of an obscured laser system is provided that includes a primary mirror, a secondary mirror, and a plurality of energy redirectors. The primary mirror is configured to reflect beam energy for the laser system. The secondary mirror is configured to function as a limiting aperture for the laser system and is aligned on-axis with respect to the primary mirror. The energy redirectors are each configured to redirect energy away from a corresponding obscuration and out of the laser system.
