ABSTRACT:
A pumping method of discrete elements solid state laser systems pumped by semiconductor laser diodes, which sends a pump beam through an active medium, comprising a first face first crossed by said pump beam, and a second face met as second by the pump beam, a pumping axis being associated to the pump beam, the active medium being inserted in a cavity to which a cavity propagation axis is associated. The pumping axis coincides with the cavity propagation axis inside the active medium, and is perpendicular to an optical surface met by the pump beam after crossing the active medium, the optical surface being at least partially reflecting at the wavelength of the pump beam.
