PCT No. PCT/JP97/00260 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 30, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 30, 1997 PCT Filed Feb. 3, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/28585 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 7, 1997A solid-state laser oscillating device which is inexpensive and capable of obtaining a high power. A plurality of laser crystals (YAG laser crystals, etc.) (1a, 1b, 1c) are arranged along the optical axis of an optical resonator so as to maintain optical contact with one another. Adjacent ones of the laser crystals have surfaces facing each other with an adhesive layer (10, 20) interposed therebetween, to form an array in a straight-line as a whole. An adhesive having a low light absorbance with respect to a laser beam of oscillation wavelength or an excitation light is used for forming the adhesive layers (10, 20). If the refractive index of the adhesive is substantially equal to that of the laser crystals, optical matching is achieved. The adhesive layers (10, 20) may be replaced by some other transparent material. The adjacent laser crystals may be arranged with a narrow gap therebetween or held in surface contact with each other.
