Description
Abstract:	We evaluate four techniques that image minority-carrier lifetime, carrier diffusion length, and shunting in solar cells. The techniques include photoluminescence imaging, carrier-density imaging, electroluminescence imaging, and dark lock-in thermography shunt detection. We compare these techniques to current industry standards and show how they can yield similar results with higher resolution and in less time.
