A method for prolonging the service life and increasing manufacturing output, respectively, of solid-state lasers provided and predetermined, respectively, for continuous operation, which includes forming the lasers into a laser bar with a group of active laser strips arranged next to one another at a mutually spaced distance, activating the active laser strips during the continuous operation by having current applied jointly thereto, and providing the laser bar with at least one group of further laser strips, respectively, arranged in interspaces between respective adjacent active laser strips of the group thereof. While the current is applied to the active laser strips, the method further includes applying no current to the further laser strips so that the further laser strips are inactive, and checking the functionality of the active laser strips during the continuous operation, and activating at least one of the inactive laser strips if a failure of at least one of the active laser strips should occur. The invention also includes a laser bar and a solid-state laser including the laser bar.
