Minimizing Crosstalk in Dual-Layer QR Code Marking on Glass with 1064 nm Fiber Laser
Abstract:
This article explores the challenges and solutions associated with marking dual-layer QR codes on glass using a 1064 nm fiber laser, focusing on the avoidance of crosstalk when the layer spacing is 50 µm. The study aims to provide insights into the optimal laser parameters and marking strategies to ensure high-resolution and accurate QR code readability without interference between layers.
Introduction:
The use of 1064 nm fiber lasers in industrial applications, such as marking and engraving, has grown due to their precision, efficiency, and versatility. In the context of marking glass, these lasers offer a non-contact method that can create high-contrast and durable marks. However, when marking dual-layer QR codes with a layer spacing of 50 µm, there is a risk of crosstalk, which can affect the readability and functionality of the codes. This article will discuss the factors contributing to crosstalk and propose methods to mitigate it.
Materials and Methods:
The experiment utilized a 1064 nm fiber laser marking machine to inscribe QR codes on glass substrates. The laser system was equipped with a dynamic focusing module to control the Z-axis movement, ensuring precise focusing at different depths for each layer. The glass samples were prepared with a thickness of 1 mm, and the layer spacing was set at 50 µm. The laser parameters, including power, pulse width, and repetition rate, were varied to assess their impact on crosstalk.
Results:
The results indicated that the choice of laser parameters significantly influenced the crosstalk between the layers. At higher laser powers, there was a noticeable increase in heat-affected zones, leading to interference between the layers. By reducing the laser power and adjusting the pulse width, it was possible to minimize the heat diffusion and thus reduce crosstalk. Additionally, the dynamic focusing Z-axis movement played a crucial role in maintaining the edge resolution and preventing overlap between layers.
Discussion:
The findings suggest that to avoid crosstalk in dual-layer QR code marking on glass with a 1064 nm fiber laser, it is essential to optimize the laser parameters. A lower power setting, combined with an appropriate pulse width, can limit the heat-affected zone and reduce the risk of crosstalk. Moreover, the dynamic focusing system must be precisely controlled to maintain the desired layer spacing and prevent interference.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, marking dual-layer QR codes on glass with a 1064 nm fiber laser is feasible with careful consideration of laser parameters and focusing techniques. By minimizing crosstalk, it is possible to achieve high-quality, readable QR codes on glass substrates with a layer spacing of 50 µm. Further research and development in laser technology and marking strategies will continue to enhance the capabilities of laser marking machines in various industrial applications.
