  • Patent number: 10946477
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and method relating to laser marking, in particular an apparatus comprises a fiber laser operable to produce a laser beam, an optics assembly operable to focus and direct the laser beam onto a non-metalized layer side of a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises the non-metalized layer side comprising a nonmetalized material and a metalized layer side comprising a metalized material, the metalized layer side being opposite the non-metalized layer side; and electronics communicatively coupled with the fiber laser and the optics assembly, the electronics being operable to control the fiber laser and the optics assembly, based on one or more laser settings, to direct the laser beam through the non-metalized layer side to be absorbed by the metalized layer side, generate a laser marking on the metalized material, and avoid generating the laser marking on the non-metalized material.

  • Publication number: 20190134743
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes systems and method relating to laser marking, in particular an apparatus comprises a fiber laser (100) operable to produce a laser beam (110), an optics assembly operable to focus and direct the laser beam (110) onto a non-metalized layer side of a substrate (150), wherein the substrate (150) comprises the non-metalized layer side comprising a non-metalized material and a metalized layer side comprising a metalized material, the metalized layer side being opposite the non-metalized layer side; and electronics (130) communicatively coupled with the fiber laser (100) and the optics assembly, the electronics (130) being operable to control the fiber laser (100) and the optics assembly, based on one or more laser settings, to direct the laser beam (110) through the non-metalized layer side to be absorbed by the metalized layer side, generate a laser marking on the metalized material, and avoid generating the laser marking on the non-metalized material.
