Abstract
A laser-diode-pumped solid-state laser includes a solid-state laser rod which is doped with a rare-earth material such as neodium and has a wavelength converting function and a semiconductor laser which pumps the solid-state laser rod. Opposite end faces of the solid-state laser rod are formed into resonator mirrors, and a wavelength-converted wave such as a second harmonic of the laser beam oscillated by the solid-state laser rod or a sum frequency wave of a laser beam oscillated by the solid-state laser rod and a semiconductor laser beam emitted by a semiconductor laser is extracted.
