Bartlome, RSinquin, YMeyer, S-ABallif, C2010-01-282010-01-282010-01-282009https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/46256We present a laser scribing system for mid-size photovoltaic modules (up to 410 × 520 mm2) implementing a movable diode-pumped solid state laser. In this configuration, the heavy large-area photovoltaic module does not need to be displaced, allowing for faster and overall more compact industrial systems. Furthermore, in the vicinity of the thin-film, critical beam parameters such as the depth of focus are kept constant throughout the scribing process.Laser ProcessingModule ManufacturingThin Filmtext::conference output::conference paper not in proceedings
