The solar industry uses low-cost solidification processing methods to produce silicon wafer-based solar cells. The solidification processing can introduce crystalline defects and residual stresses in the wafers, which may impact the electrical performance and mechanical reliability of a finished solar cell. This paper presents a polarized infrared imaging system that achieves both infrared photoelastic...
