The invention relates to the technical field of
laser, and discloses a power monitoring method and device for a
fiber laser, and the method comprises the steps: dividing a seed source into two beams through an optical splitter, transmitting a first
laser beam to a first port of a
circulator, outputting the first laser beam from a second port of the
circulator, enabling the first laser beam to enter a
grating, and enabling the second laser beam to enter a second port of the
circulator; after being reflected by the
grating, the light returns to the second port of the circulator, is finally output from the third port of the circulator, and enters the power monitor; the laser reflected by the
grating is tuned through the temperature controller, a temperature-central
wavelength schematic diagram is generated, a temperature-power line is generated by monitoring the power change condition of the tuned laser, the tuned first temperature-power line is compared with a preset temperature-power line, and the abnormal state type of the seed source is judged. The preset temperature-power line is a temperature-power line when the seed source is in a
normal state. And comparing the temperature-power diagram with the temperature-power diagram of the seed source in a
normal state to distinguish the occurred abnormal problems.
