Establishing Depth-Energy Lookup Tables for Multi-Level Depth Grayscale Marking with 1030 nm Femtosecond Laser on Glass
Abstract:
The integration of 1030 nm femtosecond laser technology in the field of glass marking has opened new possibilities for creating multi-level depth grayscale images within glass. This article explores the methodology for establishing depth-energy lookup tables to control the laser's interaction with the glass, ensuring precise control over the depth of marking and the resulting grayscale levels.
Introduction:
The 1030 nm femtosecond laser marking machine has emerged as a powerful tool for precision marking applications on glass. Its ultra-short pulse duration minimizes heat-affected zones, allowing for the creation of intricate multi-level depth grayscale images without compromising the glass's integrity. The challenge lies in determining the optimal energy levels for each depth level to achieve the desired grayscale effect.
Materials and Methods:
To establish a depth-energy lookup table, a series of experiments were conducted using a 1030 nm femtosecond laser marking machine. Glass samples of uniform thickness were marked with varying pulse energies and scan speeds. The depth of each mark was measured using a profilometer, and the grayscale level was assessed visually and with a digital grayscale reader.
Results:
The data collected from the experiments showed a correlation between pulse energy and marking depth. By plotting the depth against the energy, a lookup table was created. This table allows operators to select the appropriate energy level for each depth level required to achieve the desired grayscale image. The table also accounts for variations in glass type and thickness, ensuring flexibility in the marking process.
Discussion:
The depth-energy lookup table is crucial for achieving consistent and precise grayscale levels in glass marking. It provides a systematic approach to control the laser's interaction with the glass, avoiding over-etching or under-etching. The table can be further refined by incorporating additional factors such as pulse duration, repetition rate, and the specific properties of the glass material being used.
Conclusion:
The establishment of a depth-energy lookup table for 1030 nm femtosecond laser marking on glass is essential for the creation of high-quality multi-level depth grayscale images. This table serves as a guide for operators to achieve the desired depth and grayscale without trial and error, enhancing the efficiency and quality of glass marking processes.
