In association with SPI Lasers UK Ltd, Lincoln Laser offered a live demonstration of a MOPA laser working in tandem with a high-speed Polygon scan head at this year’s Laser World of Photonics in Munich. The demonstration scanned in attendee’s business cards and then laser printed the complete image onto a plastic luggage tag in under one second.
The SPI MOPA laser, a red ENERGY G4 Pulsed Fiber Laser, provides 200 watts of power with a pulse repetition frequency of 4 MHz allowing for extremely high-speed marking and area processing with high fill ratios.
