Abstract
A plurality of slab-shaped laser media are surrounded by an internal reflection surface of a reflector member and kept substantially parallel to each other by a supporting member. Internal gaps are left between two adjacent ones of the media and additional gaps are left between two endmost ones of the media and the internal reflection surface. A plurality of lamp members are located within the internal and additional gaps so that each lamp member effectively excites two adjacent media in the internal gaps, and a single medium in cooperation with the internal reflection surface in each additional gap. Each medium produces a laser beam along a traveling direction as a result of excitation. Each lamp member may be a single or a plurality of elongated flash lamps parallel to or transverse to the traveling direction. Alternatively, each lamp member may be a flat excitation lamp having flat surfaces juxtaposed to each medium.
