PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solid-state laser amplifier which is capable of achieving uniformed temperature distribution of a solid-state laser medium in a simple configuration. SOLUTION: A solid-state laser amplifier 1 has a solid-state laser medium 3 which amplifies the light incoming from an incidence plane by irradiation of the excitation light to emit the resulting light from an outgoing plane, and a heating element 5 provided on any plane other than the incidence plane and outgoing plane of the solid-state laser medium 3, wherein the heating element 5 heats itself by absorbing the spontaneous emission light generated in the solid-state laser medium 3.
