Abstract
Abstract of the Disclosure A solid-state laser apparatus has a solid-state laser medium inside a resonator. A pump light source such as a semiconductor laser apparatus generates pump light, and an optical system focuses the pump light on the solid-stated laser medium such that its distribution is not only inside but also at least in part outside the resonator mode in the solid-state laser medium, say, over more than 50% of the total length of the solid-state laser medium.
