A diode-pumped solid state laser (DPSSL) is a solid-state laser made by pumping a solid gain medium, for example, a ruby or a neodymium-doped YAG crystal, with a laser diode.

DPSSLs have advantages in compactness and efficiency over other types, and high power DPSSLs have replaced ion lasers and flashlamp-pumped lasers in many scientific applications, and are now appearing commonly in green and other color laser pointers.

That means most of the red or green laser pointers are DPSS laser.

However when we name a laser to DPSS laser, it’s a DPSS laser machine system, as following products.
