Abstract

The achievement of high quality cleaning of encrusted stone and metals manufacts by optimised laser ablation processes was demonstrated for several deterioration typologies. Here we present some representative cases were intermediate pulse duration Nd:YAG lasers we developed allowed to achieve specific restoration goals.
