ABSTRACT:
An optically pumped solid laser that uses a corner cube or rectangular prism as its solid laser medium, containing end faces through which a semiconductor pumping light beam is applied to the medium. The solid laser medium contains at least one kind of coating formed on at least a part of an end face, such that the end face acts as a resonator and/or output mirror. Optical fibers may be connected to the end faces for inputting or outputting light beams. Non-linear crystals in waveguide form may be coupled to the outputting end face of the medium, specifically crystals of either SHG, THG, FHG, or parameteric; and KTP, .beta.-BaB.sub.2 O.sub.4, KNbP.sub.3, or MgO doped LiNbO.sub.3.
