LASER BEAM IN THE SERVICE OF PAINTINGS RESTORATION

Laser cleaning as a particular application of laser ablation became in the last years a subject of interest due to the applications in cultural heritage restoration and conservation. For a safe application of laser cleaning in paintings cleaning and restoration analyses of laser radiation interaction with painting materials was realised and a laser cleaning system was developed. The work was realized in the frame of FP6 European Research Programme.
