Lifetime of solid-state lasers is limited by the Kr arc lamps for optical pumping. The causes to shorten the lifetime of lamp have been investigated. Consequently, a new lamp with long lifetime was developed by adopting a cathode with tapered structure which functioned as a thermionic emission type. The lifetime of new lamp is about 3-10 times compared with commercially available lamps.
