Abstract

The utility model relates to a polarization beam-combining device of a semiconductor laser. A group of laser diodes in the device are horizontally fixed on a base plate, and another group of laser diodes are vertically fixed on the base plate. When the device operates, the two groups of laser diodes generate light in vertical polarization directions. The two groups of light are respectively collimated by fast axis collimating lenses FACs and slow axis collimating lenses SACs, and then the light beams are changed into parallel beams. After reflecting by a reflector, space combined beams are formed. Finally, the beams form polarization combined beams through a polarization beam-combining prism, and the polarization combined beams pass through a collimating lens, then focus, enter an optical fiber and finally are output. The device enables the semiconductor laser to be high in power and high in brightness. A half-wave plate is prevented from being used. The half-wave plate is high in cost and strict in precision, and is easy to cause loss. The group of semiconductor laser diodes arranged in the vertical direction has the same optical path, providing guarantee for shaping of subsequent output light beams. In addition, the two groups of semiconductor laser diodes arranged horizontally and vertically can form circularly symmetric light spots.
