Thin-film PV Scribing Using a High-Energy Picosecond Pulsed Fiber Laser

“Thin-film photovoltaic (PV) fabrication is a demanding industrial process. For these devices to be cost-competitive, high-throughput and quality must be coupled with low startup and maintenance cost. Maintenance-free high-energy picosecond fiber lasers offer a means to produce high quality P1, P2, and P3 scribes of thin-film PV devices at rates exceeding 5000 mm/s and with a relatively low cost of ownership.”
