An output module for a high-power external-cavity tunable quantum cascade laser is provided, comprising: a first lens, a first half-wave plate and a first mid-infrared wire-grid polarizer successively arranged along an optical path of a first laser; a second lens, a second half-wave plate, a second mid-infrared wire-grid polarizer and a third half-wave plate successively arranged along an optical path of a second laser; wherein the emergent lights of the first mid-infrared wire-grid polarizer and the third half-wave plate converge on different surfaces of the third mid-infrared wire-grid polarizer, respectively. The present disclosure addresses the problems of wavelength locking instability and low polarization beam combining efficiency, which are caused by the insufficient polarization state in the quantum cascade laser. It enables narrow-linewidth output and wavelength tuning of the quantum cascade laser. Furthermore, through an expanded polarization beam combining structure, it can even achieve high-power, dual-wavelength tunable output.
