MOPA colours - hunting for a good red and green on brushed stainless

Hey team,

I’ve got a 60W M7 JPT MOPA. I’ve been colour-finding for a while, and have many excellent blues, golds, purples, and pinks. Where I’m having trouble is getting a vibrant red or green (currently only a light colour).

I’m working exclusively on brushed 304 stainless with a 110mm lens - does anyone have a starting point for me to work from?

Have you read this topic?
Maybe have some information useful for you…

Unfortunately, it doesn’t shed light on what I’m looking for. I understand the mechanism of how the interference patterns are made, I just don’t have a good lead on parameters for those colours.

I’d suggest a materials test with squares large enough to give you a true color.

These colors on this dog tag didn’t reproduce on a larger scale or with a slightly different thickness… So the best way is to do it yourself with the materials test using your specific materials.

I found that the interval changes were very effective, seemingly much more than speed/power.

Good luck

Was precisely that picture I was looking for. :blush:
