ABSTRACT In this work we study the optimization of laser‐fired contact (LFC) processing parameters, namely laser power and number pulses, based on electrical resistance measurement an aluminum single LFC point. process has been made through four passivation layers that are typically used in c‐Si mc‐Si solar cell fabrication: thermally grown silicon oxide (SiO 2 ), deposited phosphorus‐doped amorphous carbide (a‐SiC x /H( n )), (Al O 3 ) nitride (SiN /H) films. Values for normalized by spot...
Hyperdoped and textured silicon created with a femtosecond laser in the presence of SF 6 gas has highly absorbing surface extended spectral sensitivity infrared. The main drawback this micro‐ nanostructured material for photovoltaic (PV) cells is an increase charge‐carrier recombination at due to typically poor crystallinity layer. Laser annealing postprocessing black (b‐Si) used greatly reduce crystal structure defects while maintaining sub‐bandgap absorption. back side cell functionalized...
CR-39 nuclear track material is frequently used for the detection of protons accelerated in laser-plasma interactions.

Local laser doping (LLD) and fired-contacts (LFC) are among the most promising techniques based on tools to be industrially applied in high efficiency crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells production. Here we present a comprehensive parameterization of LLD LFC processes using commercial ns sources. The best process conditions assessed both analysing morphology electrical characteristics irradiated test samples. Values for normalized resistance far below 1.0 mΩcm2 have been obtained. For...
Abstract Laser-plasma interactions at high intensities are often accompanied by emission of a strong electromagnetic pulse (EMP) interfering with particle detectors or other electronic equipment. We present experimental evidence for significant differences in noise amplitudes laser-proton acceleration from aluminium as compared to mylar target foils. Such dissimilarities have been consistently observed throughout two series measurements indicating that, under otherwise identical conditions,...
We report on the recent demonstration of proton acceleration from a purpose-made Ti:Sapphire laser system. In first successful series autumn 2015, running at 2 TW peak power and 100 Hz diode pump rate, protons up to 0.7 MeV have been spectrally characterised. Subsequently, increased pulse energy improved contrast, we obtained maximum particle energies around 1.7 MeV. These results, achieved in single-shot mode with variety thin foil targets, are an important step towards our aim stable,...
