Laser Technology In Artifact Restoration (a Comprehensive Analysis)

Authors : Hamira Mohamed . Djeklil Taieb .

Abstract

Laser technology has revolutionized the restoration of historical artifacts by providing a precise, non-invasive cleaning method. This innovative approach utilizes focused laser beams to remove contaminants such as dirt, rust, and old paint without damaging the underlying materials. Unlike traditional methods, which often involve abrasive techniques or harsh chemicals, laser cleaning minimizes the risk of physical damage to delicate surfaces. The process works by directing high-intensity, pulsed laser light at the artifact's surface. The energy from the laser is absorbed by the contaminants, causing them to vaporize or detach while leaving the original material intact., as it allows for meticulous cleaning of intricate details and hard-to-reach areas.
