<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor laser-excited solid-state laser apparatus of which the structure of the whole apparatus is simple and small size, and which is excellent in rising response characteristics of a laser output. <P>SOLUTION: The semiconductor laser-excited solid-state laser apparatus which irradiates a solid state laser medium arranged in a laser resonator with excitation beam for laser oscillation, and outputs laser beam from the laser resonator comprises: holding means which holds the laser medium in a housing and also is composed of a raw material excellent in thermal conductivity; heating means which is arranged so as to be located in the vicinity of the laser medium in the holding means; temperature measuring means which is arranged between the laser medium in the holding means and the heating means, and measures temperature in the vicinity of the laser medium; and control means which controls the heating means based on a result of the measured temperature in the vicinity of the laser medium by the temperature measuring means. The temperature in the vicinity of the laser medium is kept constant by exhausting heat by the holding means and heating by the heating means. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
