Excimer laser ablation is demonstrated to afford a novel, highly effective method of restoration of painted artworks. The application relies on the strong UV-absorptivity of these …
Microablation and transfer of thin metal films using ultrashort, ultraviolet laser radiation has been studied. A KrF excimer laser (λ= 248 nm) having 500-fs pulse duration is coupled to a …
Several aspects of the applications of laser technology in cleaning and diagnostics of painted artworks are reviewed. Laser and material parameter studies leading to the …
A study of the microdeposition of thin Cr diffractive structures using femtosecond ultraviolet laser radiation in a forward transfer mode is presented. A KrF excimer laser (λ= 248 nm) …
