A laser beam generator which improves the stability against vibration and change with time and reduces influence of temperature change on a resonator. The laser beam generator (1) includes a pumping light source (2) for generating pumping light of a continuous wave and a solid laser resonator (4) utilizing thermal lens effect caused by produced heat at the pumping position. The solid laser resonator comprises a laser medium (4a), a saturable absorber (4b), an intermediate medium (4c), and a reflecting means (4d). Combining the substrate of the laser medium (4a) and that of the saturable absorber (4b) into one unit leads to reduction in vibration influence. A structure substantially immune to thermal influence of temperature change without the need for a method for selecting the operating point by using temperature change is used. With respect to the positional relation between the pumping optical system and the resonator, they are moved relatively to adjust the optical path length of the resonator, and thereby a stable operating point can be selected.
