Disclosed are a thin-disk regenerative amplifier and an amplification method. The thin-disk regenerative amplifier includes an input and output light path and an amplification light path. A seed laser is input into the thin-disk regenerative amplifier through the input and output light path, and reflected and amplified by the amplification optical path to obtain an amplified laser. After reaching a predetermined threshold, the amplified laser is output through the input and output light path. The input and output optical path includes an optical isolator, a first polarization beam splitter, an optical rotator, a second polarization beam splitter, a first reflective mirror, and a second reflective mirror. The amplification light path includes an input mirror, a thin-disk crystal, a pumping device, a first concave reflective mirror, and a second concave reflective mirror.

Thin-disk regenerative amplifier and amplification method

A laser device includes a gain medium, a zero-degree reflective mirror, a first retro-reflective mirror, a second retro-reflective mirror, and an output coupling mirror. The gain medium is used to generate radiation light; the zero-degree reflective mirror has a common optical axis with the gain medium, and the zero-degree reflective mirror is used to totally reflect second-direction radiation light that is incident on the zero-degree reflective mirror in an optical-axis direction; the first-direction radiation light and the first emitted light are spaced from and parallel to each other in opposite directions; the first emitted light and the second emitted light are spaced from and parallel to each other in opposite directions; a resonant cavity is formed between the zero-degree reflective mirror and the output coupling mirror; the output coupling mirror is used to transmit and output first partial radiation light, and reflect second partial radiation light.
