A vacuum insulating panel includes first and second substrates (e.g., glass substrates), a hermetic edge seal, a pump-out port, and spacers sandwiched between at least the two substrates. The gap between the substrates may be at a pressure less than atmospheric pressure to provide insulating properties. The panel may include a getter. The getter may be laser activated in a manner which causes the getter to transform and realize a TiAlV phase (e.g., Al.sub.3V.sub.0.333Ti.sub.0.667) of crystallite material. The getter may be a thin film getter and/or may be elongated in shape.
