JPT MOPA pulsed fiber laser products have the characteristics of adjustable pulse width, wide frequency range, fast response speed, available first pulse, small output power fluctuation in the whole temperature range, small size and low noise. The pulse frequency and pulse width of the product are independently controllable. Through the adjustment and matching of the two laser parameters, a constant high peak power output can be achieved. Based on its own technical advantages, the company has directionally researched and developed MOPA pulsed lasers with high pulse energy and high brightness for photovoltaic, new energy and other industries.

CW fiber laser products come with software that can monitor and alarm the operating status of the laser in real time, collect and record operating data, and select different output heads to achieve single-mode and multi-mode output. And it is scalable in design, and higher power output can be achieved by combining multiple modules (resonator cavities). Quasi-continuous (QCW) fiber lasers are fully air-cooled, which avoids the use of bulky, high-power-consumption water-cooling systems, making the equipment structure more compact, and at the same time effectively reducing the cost of use. All core indicators are at the advanced domestic level. Delivered 40,000-watt CW fiber lasers to customers in 2021.

The solid-state UV/green laser has a built-in air self-purification system, which gives the laser a higher level of quality assurance. The integrated design makes the laser have better anti-interference, sealing and waterproofing, a wide repetition frequency range, and high application efficiency.

In 2021, significant progress will be made in the research and development of JPT lasers:

1) The company’s core competitive product, MOPA pulsed fiber laser, launched the M8 product series. The peak energy of this series of products is twice that of the previous generation products, which can be used in glass drilling process applications. Compared with grinding wheels and solid-state lasers, M8 pulsed fiber lasers have the advantages of no consumables, low cost, and long life.

2) The high-brightness MOPA pulsed laser has been successfully developed and sent to customers for verification, providing new technical solutions for photovoltaic, lithium battery and other industries. 

3) In terms of high-power continuous fiber lasers, the launch of 6KW single-module and 40KW high-power products provides domestic solutions for the high-power laser cutting market. At the same time, in the laser welding market, the company adopts multi-department collaboration: continuous fiber laser product line for customers We develop customized light sources, and the welding and connection product line provides customers with laser processing modules, thereby providing customers with integrated customized products such as laser welding modules and laser welding workstations. 

Laser/optical intelligent equipment business revenue of 490 million yuan, split into 6 product lines

In 2021, JPT’s laser/optical intelligent equipment business will achieve revenue of 490 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.29%, and a gross profit margin of 42.01%, a year-on-year increase of 5.91 percentage points. Laser/optical intelligent equipment products include self-developed core modules such as laser optical modules, circuit measurement systems, motion control modules, and intelligent information management systems. By mastering the core module technology, the company is able to have a competitive advantage in terms of technical synergy and profit margins. 

The laser resistor trimmer system used by the company in the field of passive components uses the MOPA pulsed fiber laser developed by the company. Its pulse width adjustable function makes the laser resistor trimmer compatible with different types of thick film resistors, thin film resistors, ultra-high resistance Value resistors, ultra-low resistance resistors, etc., so as to serve customers more flexibly and efficiently. On this basis, the company expands the category of automatic processing equipment for passive components. The company’s automated processing equipment will further cover the inductance processing process.
