PCT No. PCT/EP96/01151 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 18, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 18, 1996 PCT Filed Mar. 18, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO96/34435 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 31, 1996A diode-pumped high performance solid state laser has at least one pump module comprising at least two laser diode arrays which transversely irradiate a solid state laser rod. The path length of the radiation emitted by a laser diode array through the solid state laser rod and the required absorption path for this radiation, determined by the emission wavelength of this radiation and the doping of the laser-active medium, are adapted to one another extensively in different ways.
