What a Fiber Laser Marking Machine Can Do For You

In this article, we are going to introduction the technology of Fiber Laser marking Machine, understand its scientific background, its applications, materials targeted and its challenges.

After reading this article, you should be able to discern how best to use this machine for your own applications.

Understanding Fiber Laser Marking

A fiber laser machine essentially has three main parts, including the pump, the resonator and the beam delivery system.

The pump comprises of laser diodes from which a light beam is emitted and transmitted through fiber optics to a resonator which contains what is known as the gain medium.

The resonator hosts the gain medium, which in simple terms is a fiber optics medium doped with rare earth elements.

The main differences between different fiber laser applications are based on the wavelengths produced, which determines the surfaces that each type can mark on.

Metal markers are mainly Ytterbium doped, giving them the wavelength that is needed for optimal absorptivity for material marking various metals and plastics.
