摘要： Disclosed is an optical amplification device comprising an amplifier medium inserted between two mirrors and an optical pumping source. The mirrors are confocal mirrors whose focal plane is located in the vicinity of the center of the non-linear medium. This medium has a match-stick shape with a large axis in one direction forming an angle alpha/2 with the optical axis of the cavity defined by the two mirrors and the amplifier medium. This architecture enables an incident optical wave to pass several times within the amplification device leading to an increase in the performance characteristics of said device.
