A laser device includes: a traveling wave type resonator comprising a first mirror and a second mirror; and a laser medium disposed between the first mirror and the second mirror. The first mirror and the second mirror are disposed such that round-trip light that travels in round trips in the resonator has a focus inside the laser medium. The laser device is configured such that: excitation light incident on the resonator is superimposed on the round-trip light at the focus and narrowed to be thinner than the round-trip light, ZR×α
