<p>In a solid-state laser resonator (4) capable of outputting a high power linearly polarized laser beam (7), a laser beam subjected to the birefringence in the laser resonator (4) is effected to minimize a component of the laser beam which is orthogonal to the direction of polarization definable by a Brewster plate (8, 9) upon traversing a quarter-wave plate (11, 12). The linear polarization output distribution of the laser beam is thus made uniform. With this, the emission efficiency and the output power of a linearly polarized laser beam are much improved. <IMAGE></p> |
