Over the past fifty years, laser cleaning has progressively become an established
conservation cleaning treatment for a range of artefacts, including stone, ceramics and …

In this paper, we present a critical review on the applications of the Laser-Induced
Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technique in cultural heritage and archaeology. The …

The present article focuses on the color change of marble during the removal of superficial
deposits by laser radiation. A comparison between cleaning results obtained by the first …

Modern life and global communication would not be possible without technologically
tailored thin films; they are omnipresent in daily life applications. In most cases, the films are …

A novel setup, combining two spectroscopic techniques, laser induced breakdown
spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman spectroscopy in a hybrid unit, is described. The work …

The present work includes a laser-based methodology for the cleaning of artworks, with
emphasis on the preservation of their structural integrity and identity. Modern laser-based …

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was used to control the cleaning process of
polluted sandstone and medieval stained glass. A combination of a KrF Excimer and LIBS …

For the first time the kinetic emission properties of commercially available cadmium-based
pigments were studied. For analysis, a streak camera-based photoluminescence device was …

The possibility to use laser radiation to clean historical objects has been established for
several years. A complex case and widely met problem are polychromes. They react …

Micro/nano structuring of KrF Excimer laser-irradiated Aluminum (Al) has been correlated
with laser-produced structural and mechanical changes. The effect of non-reactive Argon …
