A laser crystal is formed on a substrate in a solid-state laser device. The
laser crystal oscillates laser beam from a second end face when an
excitation beam is projected to a first end face. An excitation beam
emission element emitting the excitation beam is provided for the
solid-state laser device. A waveguide path is formed on the substrate. The
excitation beam is transmitted through the waveguide path. The waveguide
path has a first end portion on which the excitation beam emitted by the
excitation beam emission element impinges and a second end portion which
opposes the first end face of the laser crystal. The excitation beam is
emitted from the second end portion.
