Scribing on conductive films used in thin film solar cells is often achieved with 532 nm laser scribing. Machines used to accomplish this can accommodate very large photovoltaic cells and rapidly scribe the conductive film by using multiple heads. The manufacturing process can also involve laser micro-drilling and cutting operations using the same equipment.

Flow cytometry is a diagnostic tool most commonly used to count or separate individual cells in order to analyze their pathologic or genetic characteristics. This involves using a 532 nm DPSS laser used in its cw or continuous wave mode in combination with a fluorescent dye.

Photocoagulation uses a pattern scan laser system designed to treat retinal diseases. This technology employs short 532 nm laser pulses. These laser pulses are delivered in a predetermined sequence which results in improved precision, patient safety & comfort, and a significant reduction in treatment time compared with other methods.

532 nm lasers are used in wafer processing in a variety of applications including scribing, cutting and microdrilling as well as for impurity removal.

A portable system using a modified 532 nm laser is currently being employed by criminologists and forensics experts. It can be used to locate fingerprints, fibers, body fluids, bone fragments, tooth chips, narcotics residue, and a variety of other types of trace evidence even in high ambient light conditions.

Stereolithography, also known as 3-D layering or rapid prototyping, involves the creation of plastic three-dimensional objects quickly and accurately from CAD drawings using plastic resin and a 532 nm DPSS laser. This method allows a mechanical engineer to verify the fit of a part or an inventor to create a plastic prototype of an invention in a matter of hours.
