ABSTRACT:
In a laser device having a solid-state laser medium of a slab or rod-shaped crystal, a flash lamp serving as an excitation-light source for the laser medium, and a reflector made of a foamed quartz glass for injecting light produced by the light source into the laser medium, an insulator made from a foamed glass is utilized to improve the efficiency of light injection and the resulting beam quality. In addition, where the laser medium is doped with Nd.sup.3+, a wavelength conversion filter made of a material doped with Cr.sup.3+ or Ti.sup.3+ is utilized to convert most of the excitation light into a wavelength most suitable for exciting the laser medium. Foamed quartz glass is preferred also as the material for the inner surface of an integrating sphere for optical measurement.
