A solid-state laser rod pumping module has a stack-type semiconductor
laser including a plurality of bar-shaped components that are stacked in
a direction parallel to the axis of a solid-state laser rod. Each
bar-shaped component includes a plurality of laser-light-emitting
portions that are aligned and integrated in a direction orthogonal to the
axis of the solid-state laser rod. The large divergence angle of the
stack-type semiconductor can be compensated by including a light focusing
component for focusing laser light emitted out of the stack-type
semiconductor laser. The focused light is guided by a laser light guiding
component disposed in a diffusive reflection tube. A light guiding
component guides the focused light onto a solid-state laser rod located
within the diffusive reflective tube, while maintaining the length of one
side of the cross section of the guided light.
