[0047] As shown in Figure 1 , the first detection module 12 is located at the exit end of the optical mirror 11 and comprises a first energy detection device la; the first energy detection device la detects the energy of the first laser signal.
[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment, the first detection module 12 further comprises a beam splitter lb and a pulse test device lc; the beam splitter lb divides the first laser signal into a first split signal and a second split signal; the pulse test device lc detects the pulse width of the first split signal; and the first energy detection device la detects the energy of the second split signal. Specifically, the energy value of the second split signal is monitored throughout, and according to the extraction ratio of the optical mirror 11 and the splitting ratio of the beam splitter lb, the energy value of the first laser signal can be obtained in the case of splitting the first laser signal.
[0049] As shown in Figure 1 , the second detection module 13 is located on one side of the process table and comprises a second energy detection device ld; the laser signal processed by the machining optical system 3 from the light source 2 is a second laser signal, and the second energy detection device ld detects the energy of the second laser signal.

The neutral density filter 1e2 is positioned near the light inlet of the light spot detection device 1e, and the light spot sensor 1e3 is positioned away from the light inlet. As an example, the light spot sensor 1e3 is an image sensor. The purpose of the neutral density filter 1e2 is to prevent excessive light energy from damaging the image sensor. The opaque cylindrical structure 1e1 is conical in shape, and the circular opening of the conical cylinder is the light inlet of the light spot detection device. The purpose of the opaque cylindrical structure 1e1 is to prevent external light signals from interfering with the light spot sensor 1e3. In practical applications, the shape of the opaque cylindrical structure 1e1 can be customized as needed, and is not limited to this embodiment.

The translation can prevent the physical vibration of the process table 4 and the second energy detection device 1d from affecting the laser detection and the process. As an example, the light signal receiving surface of the light spot detection device 1e, the light signal receiving surface of the second energy detection device 1d and the processing surface of the process table 4 are located on the same horizontal plane, so that the performance of the laser signal received by the process table 4, the laser signal received by the light spot detection device 1e and the laser signal received by the second energy detection device 1d is consistent, and the second energy detection device 1d, the process table 4 and the light spot detection device 1e receive the second laser signal by translation in turn.
[0058] Specifically, in the embodiment, the laser detection system further includes a computer processing module (not shown in the figure), which processes the information of the first laser signal and the second laser signal.
