A laser ignition device (100) for an internal combustion engine (102) is presented, wherein the laser ignition device (100) has at least a laser spark plug (110) and a cooling device (120) for controlling the temperature, in particular cooling, the laser spark plug (110). According to the invention, the cooling device (120) has a cooling circuit (122) which contains a cooling fluid (128) and can be thermally connected to at least one component of the laser spark plug (110), wherein a volume of the cooling fluid (128) which is contained in the cooling circuit (122) is less than or equal to approximately fifty percent of a compression volume of a cylinder (132) of the internal combustion engine (102), preferably less than or equal to approximately ten percent of a compression volume of the cylinder (132) of the internal combustion engine (102). |
