Background Fiber lasers have been widely used in numerous fields such as industrial processing and scientific research detection, due to their significant advantages including high efficiency, low cost, and miniaturization. In the R&D (Research and Development) and mass production of fiber lasers, the synchronous testing of core performance indicators such as power, spectrum, time-domain characteristics, and beam quality is a key technical support. It enables comprehensive evaluation of the device’s overall performance, accurate localization of design defects, optimization of production process parameters, and guarantee of consistent product delivery. However, the traditional testing mode requires temporarily building a dedicated test system for each laser under test. It has problems such as long time consumption, cumbersome operation, and low testing efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and high-efficiency R&D.Purpose To address the above issues, this paper proposes an integrated synchronous testing system for multi-parameter fiber lasers. The system aims to realize the synchronous acquisition and testing of multiple indicators, including power, spectrum, time-domain characteristics, and beam quality. It further improves the scientificity of the comprehensive performance evaluation of lasers, provides reliable technical support for production practice and scientific research in related fields, and achieves the core goals of improving testing efficiency and simplifying testing processes.Methods The system achieves the integrated integration of multi-module hardware testing equipment, as well as standardized interfaces and external connections, based on optical principle design and precision mechanical structure design. From the perspective of safe operation, an emergency shutdown device for abnormal working conditions is equipped to ensure the safety of the system and the laser under test during the testing process. The control software adopts LabVIEW multi-threading technology to realize the synchronous acquisition and real-time transmission of various parameters.Results The system can adapt to the testing needs of fiber lasers with an output power range of 80 W to 10 kW. During testing, users only need to connect the fiber end cap of the laser under test to the system, and can start multi-parameter synchronous testing through the upper computer software without manual intervention in the optical adjustment link. After the test, the system can automatically complete the analysis and processing of raw data and generate a standardized test report. Verification experiments conducted with a 10 kW fiber laser as the test object show that the system has good operability, reliability, test repeatability, and technical feasibility.Conclusions The system significantly improves the efficiency of multi-parameter testing of fiber lasers and greatly reduces the complexity of data processing, providing an efficient and reliable solution for scientific research and industrial laser testing.-
