The MOPA laser is based on fiber technology and is used in industrial marking due to its accuracy and adaptability. The infrared emission spectrum allows for effective processing of various materials, including metals and numerous plastic polymers. This system enables the creation of indelible, highly precise marks without the use of consumables. MOPA fiber technology offers significant benefits in terms of speed and accuracy, making it optimal for use in fields such as the automotive industry, electronics sector, and promotional field. MOPA technology allows for varying the duration of laser pulses, increasing versatility compared to a standard fiber source.
The MOPA infrared marking device utilizes an optical conductor enriched with rare elements, such as ytterbium, to enhance the light beam, generating an electromagnetic wave of 1064nm. This characteristic makes this laser particularly effective in marking metallic components and various types of polymeric materials. The methodology based on optical fiber ensures high energy efficiency, remarkable longevity, and reduced maintenance needs, thanks to its robustness and the durability of optical conductors. The ability to concentrate the light beam in an extremely circumscribed point allows for the creation of markings with very high definition and accuracy, making it optimal for creating 1D and 2D codes, QR codes, and complex graphics. Furthermore, the ability to vary the modulation frequency over a wide range allows for high scanning speeds without compromising quality, increasing production efficiency. The precise and instantaneous control of power and pulse duration allows for customized markings, making the optical fiber device an optimal solution for monitoring, recognition, and customization procedures of items in highly competitive industrial sectors.
