Abstract
A light amplifier device comprises an amplifier medium plate consisting of an upper part comprising two lateral faces (11) and (12) and a lower part comprising two lateral faces (13) and (14), the lateral faces (11) and (13) being located on a first face of the amplifier medium, the lateral faces (12) and (14) being located on a second face of the amplifier medium opposite said first face, at least two light beams (2) and (2') amplified by the amplifier medium and optical pumping means of said amplifier medium, wherein the light beam (2) is introduced into the amplifier medium at a lateral face (11) or (12) and the light beam (2') is introduced into the amplifier medium at a lateral face (13) or (14). The faces (11) and (12) are antiparallel to each other, the faces (13) and (14) being also antiparallel to each other. Application to power lasers.
