The invention relates to an optically pumped
solid-state
laser (1), in which a pump
radiation source (100) and a
laser resonator (200) are used to form at least one
standing wave (320) with an
active laser medium (201), which are arranged opposite one another such that the
laser resonator (200) can be pumped by the pump
radiation source (100), the laser
resonator (200) is delimited at a first end by an end mirror (220) for reflecting the
standing wave (320) and at a second end by an out-
coupling mirror (220) for reflecting the
standing wave (320) and
coupling out the laser
radiation (330), and wherein the laser resonator (200) has at least four reflectors (210) at which the direction of extension of the standing wave (320) changes.
