Broadband sunlight can be converted into laser light by solar pumping, which can be a source of narrowband, collimated, rapidly pulsed radiation—with the possibility of extremely high brightness and intensity. . A solar-pumped laser (or solar-powered laser) is a laser that shares the same optical properties as conventional lasers such as emitting a beam consisting of coherent electromagnetic radiation which can reach high power, but which uses solar radiation for pumping the lasing medium. This type of. . A novel three Ce:Nd:YAG rod solar-pumped laser achieves 4. 64% solar-to-laser energy conversion efficiency. A team of researchers led by Dawei Liang, an associate professor at NOVA University of Lisbon in Portugal, are eschewing semiconductor laser arrays and. . A photosynthetic antenna complex collects energy from sunlight, which is converted to an electronic excitation and efficiently funneled to an H-dimer placed in the middle. Here, the excitation is absorbed to a bright, high-energy state and it relaxes quickly to a dark, low-energy state.

Laser technology is a key enabler in the photovoltaic industry, where it is used for scribing, cutting, and drilling solar cells. Fraunhofer ILT. . In the production process of photovoltaic solar panels, the silicon wafers need to be cut first. Traditional mechanical cutting methods have problems such as tool wear and low cutting efficiency, while laser cutting technology can perfectly solve these problems. The main types include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyolefin elastomer. . Fiber laser technology uses silica glass optical fibers to guide light into a highly collimated and powerful beam, ideal for precision cutting in various manufacturing processes, including solar panel production.
