Claim 0:
1. A laser pumping device, comprising:
a pump-light source, configured to emit a pump light;
a dielectric block with a pump axis, comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a plural number of reflection surfaces, wherein the first surface is a planar surface, the dielectric block is configured to receive the pump light into the first surface, guide the pump light along the pump axis surrounded by the reflection surfaces, and transmit the pump light toward the second surface, and oppositely faced two of the reflection surfaces are wedged with a down-tapered aperture perpendicular to the pump axis; and
a laser gain material, installed at a position next to the second surface close to the pump axis and configured to receive and absorb the pump light emitted from the second surface;
wherein a length L of the dielectric block along the pump axis is calculated from, L
