Based on chirped-pulse amplification technology, a ring cavity Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier with high output energy is demonstrated. Under the 532 nm pump energy of 33.1 mJ at a repetition rate of 100 Hz, the chirped laser pulse with energy of 9.84 mJ is obtained, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 33.1%. Instead, using the pump laser with energy of 32.0 mJ at a repetition rate of 10 Hz, we also obtain 9.64 mJ pulse energy with a corresponding slope efficiency of 36.8%. By optimizing the dispersion among all optical materials, stretcher and compressor, the shortest pulse has an energy of 6.36 mJ and a pulse width of 59.7 fs, and the energy fluctuation is 1.85 % (RMS) over 4000 shots after the compressor. The performances show that it may pave the way for ultrafast applications and serves as a front stage toward TW even PW laser system with high contrast ratio.
