Abstract: A pulsed solid state laser system (10) is disclosed which utilizes a plurality of individual laser rods (11-14) which are sequentially pumped and whose beams are combined into a single interleaved ouput beam (34). The individual laser rods (11-14) are pumped at an average power level which is below that for maximum output power from each rod, thereby obviating the need for refrigeration cooling. A compact optical system is disclosed which permits a constant beam size even at different pump levels and other advantages. A compact cooling system is also disclosed.
