Abstract
Solar pumped lasers convert sunlight into laser radiation directly. The investigators of solar pumped lasers at home and abroad are introduced. The advantages of solar pumped lasers in application are discussed with the efficiency of sunlight conversion to laser radiation, and the history of solar pumped laser development and demonstration is reviewed. Solar pumped solid state lasers are classified and analyzed by sunlight concentrating approach, and the future development of solar pumped lasers is predicted.
