In a laser light generating device, the stability against vibration and
time-dependent changes will be improved, and influences of temperature
changes exerted on the resonator will be reduced. In a laser light
generating device (1) which includes an excitation light source (2) for
generating a continuous-wave excitation light and a solid-state laser
resonator (4) based on using thermal lens effect caused by heat
generation at a position of excitation, the solid-state laser resonator
further includes a laser medium (4a) a saturable absorber (4b) an
intermediate medium (4c) and reflection means (4d) as the constituents.
Influence of vibration is reduced by bonding a substrate of the laser
medium (4a) and a substrate of the saturable absorber (4b) so as to
integrate them. By adopting a configuration which does not need any
method of selecting operating point based on temperature changes and is
less susceptible to heat, and by relatively moving the excitation optical
system and the resonator in the positional relation of the both to
thereby adjust the light path length of the resonator, so as to make it
possible to select a stable operating point.
