JPT MOPA Laser Technology: Innovative Solution for Creating Unique Color Labels on Stainless Steel
Introduction
In today’s competitive industrial manufacturing and product identification landscape, companies are constantly seeking innovative technologies that enhance product value and brand recognition. JPT MOPA laser technology, with its ability to achieve high-precision color marking on stainless steel, has become a focal point in the industry. This technology not only overcomes the limitations of traditional marking methods but also provides businesses with a new way to create unique, durable, and visually striking product labels.
Technical Principle of Color Marking on Stainless Steel
The JPT MOPA laser system produces colorful marking effects on stainless steel surfaces through precise control of laser parameters, creating an oxide layer interference effect. Compared to conventional fiber lasers, the MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) structure offers more flexible pulse control capabilities:
-
Wide adjustable pulse width range (from ns to μs level)
-
Precise frequency adjustment
-
Stable peak power control
These features enable the laser to interact precisely with the stainless steel surface. By adjusting parameters such as laser energy density, interaction time, and scanning speed, a variety of color effects—from gold and blue to red and green—can be achieved without the need for any inks or additives.
