Fiber lasers are suitable for generating high average powers with good beam quality. On the other hand, due to nonlinearities there is a lower potential for high pulse energies and peak powers. Nev-ertheless this young technology begins to enter the photovoltaics market as well.
The fundamental process of most laser struc-turing applications on solar cells is the direct laser-induced vaporization and melt ejection by nanosecond laser pulses.
Independent of the solar cell concept, lasers have always played a role in the de-velopment of new production processes. In some cases, there is a strong competitive situation with one or two alternative technol-ogies, but in many cases no other tool can compete with the speed and precision of the laser.
