What are MOPA lasers?

The term MOPA is an abbreviation that stands for Master Oscillator Power Amplifier. The MOPA laser marking machine consists of two gas discharge chambers. The first is referred to as the master oscillator, and it generates light with a low amount of energy in a tight spectrum.

The generated light then passes through the second gas discharge chamber, called the power amplifier. The purpose of this chamber is to amplify the beam of light that passes through it so that it can create a powerful output. This allows MOPA laser marking machines to effectively engrave your designs on a number of different materials and surfaces.

MOPA laser applications

MOPA laser markers have applications in many industrial processes. Here are some the ways they’re most commonly used:

  1. You can use a MOPA laser marker to make markings on jewellery, like bracelets, rings, and pendants.
  2. Due to its incredibly small pulse width parameter, this machine is a great option if you’re looking to mark alumina, a material widely used in computers and smartphones.
  3. You can use a MOPA laser marking machine to put your company logo on plastic packages.
  4. These machines are of high importance in the dental and medical industries, as they can effectively make marking on surgical instruments and medical tools.
  5. MOPA laser markers are often used to make markings on automotive spare parts.

Advantages of MOPA laser markers

MOPA lasers are considered to be one of the finest machines among laser markers. Although the list of industrial applications a MOPA laser marking machine has is quite impressive, there are also other features that make it particularly popular:

  1. MOPA laser markers allow you to automate the process of colour etching, which can greatly reduce the time of work execution and provide quality results.
  2. When you’re marking plastic, a MOPA fibre laser will ensure minimal foaming by supplying the right amount of heat to the material. Some marking machines can cause quite a lot of foaming when marking plastic because they project a high amount of heat.
  3. MOPA laser markers allow you to make colour marking with high contrast, which is something a lot of other systems can’t do. However colour marking can only be done on stainless steel.
  4. What’s great about MOPA laser marking machines is that they have a controlled heat feature, which prevents the melting and burning of materials they’re marking.
  5. There is no maintenance required when you buy a MOPA laser system. As long as you use it correctly, it should last you around 5 to 7 years before you need to replace any parts.
