Laser Welded Edge Seals for Polymer-Free Glass/Glass Modules
Conference
·
OSTI ID:1993271
This presentation covers fs lasers which enable crack-free and stress-free glass/glass welds. Welds are nearly as strong as the glass (KI, weld ~ KI, glass) and static load test passed, enabling: 1) polymer-free; 2) hermetically sealed; and 3) recyclable modules. Next steps are: 1) follow-on funding; 2) develop feed throughs (metal/glass welds already achieved for other devices); and 3) weld mini modules for further IEC module testing.
