As shown in fig. 12, after the light reflected by the optical fiber is split by the second polarization beam splitter prism assembly 806, the light path of the S-polarized light entering the first polarization beam splitter prism assembly 803 is consistent with the data light or detection light emitting light path of the first lens assembly 802, and there is a possibility that the reflected light enters the laser emitting assembly along the data light or detection light emitting light path, which affects the emission performance of the laser emitting assembly. In this example, in order to solve this problem, as shown in fig. 17, connection surfaces of the first polarization splitting prism assembly 803, the U-shaped magnetic block 807, the half-wave plate 805, and the second polarization splitting prism assembly 806, which are in contact with the support 801, are set as inclined surfaces, that is, a bottom surface of the first position-limiting groove 8011 is set to form a certain included angle α with a horizontal axis, and the first polarization splitting prism assembly 803, the U-shaped magnetic block 807, the half-wave plate 805, and the second polarization splitting prism assembly 806 are attached to the inclined bottom surfaces, so that an outgoing light path of the laser emission assembly is not consistent with an incident light path of reflected light in the first polarization splitting prism, and the reflected light cannot enter the laser emission assembly, thereby achieving an anti-reflection performance of the laser emission assembly.
