A simple and high-reliability constitution provides a solid-state laser
system that allows a high-output, long-pulse-width laser beam to be
obtained.A solid-state laser system that includes a solid-state laser
medium 1, a light source 2 for pumping the solid-state laser medium 1,
two reflecting mirrors 3 and 4 for flanking the solid-state laser medium
1, thereby constituting a laser resonator, is constituted in such a
manner that a virtual-mirror plane 5 is defined in the space between the
solid-state laser medium 1 and the reflecting mirror 4; a lens 6 is
provided between the virtual-mirror plane 5 and the reflecting mirror 4;
and, by means of the forward and backward paths along the route from the
virtual-mirror plane to the reflecting mirror by way of the lens, the
virtual-mirror plane in the forward path and the virtual-mirror plane in
the backward path are made in an optically conjugated relationship with
each other.
