An object of the present invention is to provide a practical device for generating blue laser beam having a wavelength of 457 nm. The present invention provides a device for generating blue laser beam. The device has a solid-state laser oscillator 3 composed of Nd-doped YVO4 crystal and having a length of not smaller than 0.1 mm and not larger than 1.0 mm, a reflecting means 6A, 6B provided in the oscillator 3, an illuminating means 1 for illuminating pump light beam to the oscillator 3, and a waveguide-type device 5 for generating harmonic wave. The oscillator 3 and reflecting means 1 constitute a resonator 7. The waveguide-type device 5 is provided outside of the resonator 7. The oscillator 3 oscillates laser beam having a wavelength of 914±1 nm, and the waveguide-type device 5 oscillates blue laser "E" having a wavelength of 457±1 nm.
