A connecting rib plate 5553 is provided on one side of the periscope 54 between the two clamping plates 5552, and the connecting rib plate avoids the light inlet end and the light outlet end of the periscope 54. A fourth tightening screw (not shown in the figure) for tightening the periscope 54 is provided on one of the clamping plates 5552.

[0085] Furthermore, since some lasers 6 are provided with multiple rows of laser chips 61, in order to realize automatic and continuous detection, such as Figure 1 and Fig.11 As shown, a fifth linear slide 56 is provided between the third mounting seat 51 and the workbench 1, and the power member of the fifth linear slide 56 is an electric push rod 561. Driven by the fifth linear slide 56, the third mounting seat 51 can approach or move away from the laser chip 61 along the light emitting direction of the laser chip 61.

[0086] If the arrangement of the laser chip 61 in the laser 6 is as follows Fig.14 As shown, in the actual detection process, after the detection of one row of laser chips 61 is completed, the laser 6 needs to be turned 180°, and the positions of the upper power assembly 5 and the periscope 54 need to be adjusted again, and then another row of laser chips 61 can be detected. If multiple rows of laser chips 61 are arranged in the same direction, the upper power assembly 5 can be controlled by electric control to approach or move away from the laser chip 61 along the light emitting direction of the laser chip 61, and then the longitudinal driving component and the vertical driving component 23 are cooperated to perform automatic and continuous detection of the laser chips 61 of the entire laser 6.

[0087] A method for detecting the alignment quality of a semiconductor laser beam comprises the following steps:

[0088] S1, optical path calibration.

[0089] 1.1 Place the laser 6 on the stage 21.

[0090] 1.2 Position calibration of the powered probe 521. The cylinder 53 slowly drops down, and the position of the stage 21 is adjusted by the fifth linear slide 56, the longitudinal drive component and the vertical drive component 23, so that the positive and negative electrodes of the powered probe 521 are aligned with the positive and negative electrodes of the laser chip 61 of the first channel of the laser 6.

[0091] 1.3 Calibrate the position of the periscope 54. Turn the second adjustment rod 5533 to adjust the height of the periscope 54 so that the center of the incident surface of the periscope 54 and the center of the light-emitting surface of the laser chip 61 of the first channel of the laser 6 are on the same axis. Turn the first adjustment rod 5513 to adjust the position of the light-incoming surface of the periscope 54 so that it is on the side of the slow-axis collimator 63 that faces away from the fast-axis collimator 62. Ensure that the light beam after fast-slow axis collimation can pass completely over the laser 6 housing through the periscope 54.

[0092] 1.4 Calibration of the position of the near-field industrial camera 31. Turn the knobs of the first linear slide 34 and the second linear slide 36 respectively to make the center of the target surface of the near-field industrial camera 31 and the center of the light-emitting surface of the periscope 54 on the same axis.

[0093] 1.5 Calibration of the position of the far-field industrial camera 41. Turn the knobs of the third linear slide 44 and the fourth linear slide 46 respectively to make the center of the target surface of the far-field industrial camera 41 and the center of the reflected light exit surface of the beam splitter prism 37 on the same axis.

[0094] S2, setting the number of laser chips 61 of the laser 6 to N (N≥1), setting the channel number n=1 (1≤n≤N), setting the slow axis collimation error to δx, and setting the fast axis collimation error to δz.

[0095] S3 , the powered probe 521 is lifted, and through the fifth linear slide 56 , the longitudinal driving component and the vertical driving component 23 , the powered probe 521 is aligned with the laser chip 61 of the current channel.

[0096] S3, the power probe 521 falls and the power is turned on.

[0097] S4, the near-field industrial camera 31 obtains the coordinates of the center of mass of the light beam (Xan, Zan), and the far-field industrial camera 41 obtains the coordinates of the center of mass of the light beam (Xbn, Zbn).

[0098] If |Xan-Xbn|<δx, it means that the slow axis collimation of the light beam is qualified, otherwise it is judged as unqualified.

[0099] If |Zan-Zbn|<δz, it means that the fast axis collimation of the light beam is qualified, otherwise it is judged as unqualified.

[0100] S4, rewrite the current channel number to n=n+1, and determine whether n is equal to the number N of laser chips 61.

[0101] If n=N, all channels are tested, the power-on probe 521 is lifted, the stage 21 and the power-on device 5 return to their original positions, and the test is finished.

[0102] If n≠N, return to step S3 and perform next channel detection.
