With the maturation of laser technology in diagnostic and
conservation applications, conservation scientists, archeologists,
art historians, researchers, and advanced science-oriented students
now have the tools necessary for preserving the future of our
past-our cultural heritage. Presenting recent developments in the
field, Lasers in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage: Principles
and Applications addresses the basic concepts of laser applications
and supplies case studies of analytical, structural diagnostic, and
laser cleaning applications. The book provides a comprehensive
presentation of the fundamental principles and applications of
modern laser technology in the analysis of composition, diagnostics
of structural integrity, and conservation of artworks and
antiquities. Beginning with an introduction to the basic techniques
used in art conservation and archeology, the book describes the
fundamental aspects of laser-matter interactions, emphasizing laser
diagnostics and laser processing applications. The next few
chapters focus on laser-based spectroscopic techniques for the
analysis of the composition of materials in art and archaeology,
including laser-induced breakdown, Raman, and laser-induced
fluorescence spectroscopic techniques. The book proceeds to
highlight nondestructive diagnostic techniques, laser processing
applications, laser applications for the cleaning of paintings and
stone, and methods for the removal of encrustations. It concludes
with case studies for the conservation of materials like parchment,
paper, metal, ivory, and wood, and includes conservation approaches
for modern paintings. Bridging science with art, Lasers in the
Preservation of Cultural Heritagepresents a systematic overview of
the fundamentals and applications of laser techniques in artwork
conservation and archeological science.
