Analytical Instruments
Light Beam Induced Current (LBIC) is a valuable tool for defect analysis in solar cells used to measure the spatial distribution of recombination active defects in solar cells. It works by illuminating a laser beam onto a solar cell and measuring the resulting current. The current is higher at locations where there are more recombination defects, so by scanning the laser beam across the solar cell, a map of the defect density can be created.
Our instrument uses three lasers with wavelengths of 405nm, 532nm, and 655nm to measure the spatial distribution of recombination active defects in solar cells. The different wavelengths allow us to probe different depths within the solar cell, which helps us to identify defects that are located at different layer.
LBIC is a well-established method primarily used in the photovoltaic sector for spatially resolved measurements of recombinationactive defects in ready-processed solar cells.
Holmarc Laser Beam Induced Current (LBIC) systems Model : HO-LBIC-3LC provide rapid, high-resolution mapping of the photovoltaic response in solar cells across large areas, from individual cells to entire modules. These systems are ideal for measuring photovoltaic active regions, identifying defects, shunts, inactive areas, and coating errors.
The low-noise design ensures immunity to external light interference, and they are available in both single-wavelength and multiwavelength congurations for testing various photovoltaic responses.
