A conventional method for a solid-state laser device that obtains a laser
beam output of a high quality at a high output using a laser diode as a
pumping light source has a problem that the costs are increased and the
fabrication becomes complicated due to an increasing number of
components, such as a diffusing reflection mirror, a condenser lens, and
a holding mechanism and a cooling mechanism thereof. Coating with a
antireflection coating to reduce a transmission loss of laser diode
light, and coating with a high reflection coating to reflect the laser
diode light are provided alternately on the outer surface of a cooling
tube. Also, an irradiation direction of the laser diode is not directed
to the center of the laser rod, but is given with a certain angle to be
positively tilted. This configuration makes it possible to eliminate the
above problem.
