A wavelength conversion laser device includes a solid-state laser element having a waveguide structure including a laser medium that amplifies laser beams by providing a gain generated due to absorption of pump light to the laser beams and outputs a fundamental wave, and a wavelength conversion element having a waveguide structure including a nonlinear optical material that converts a part of a fundamental wave output from the solid-state laser element to a second harmonic, to resonate the fundamental wave by an optical resonator structure including the solid-state laser element and the wavelength conversion element and outputs a second harmonic from the wavelength conversion element. The solid-state laser element outputs a linearly polarized fundamental wave, and differentiates a polarization state of a fundamental wave having passed through the wavelength conversion element and entering into the solid-state laser element from linear polarization output from the solid-state laser element, so that wavelength conversion efficiency of the wavelength conversion element is not decreased in a peak wavelength of a gain band.
