A solid-state laser apparatus including a resonator in which oscillation
of laser light occurs. An etalon is provided in the resonator for
selecting a predetermined wavelength as a wavelength of laser light to be
output from the solid-state laser apparatus. The etalon has at least one
surface through which laser light passes, and is arranged so that at
least one reflectance of the at least one surface at the above
predetermined wavelength is smaller than reflectances of the at least one
surface at wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength. In
addition, at least one resonator mirror of the resonator is arranged so
that at least one reflectance of the at least one mirror at the above
predetermined wavelength is greater than reflectances of the at least one
mirror at wavelengths other than the predetermined wavelength.
