Beginning with an introduction to the spectroscopic techniques used in conservation and archaeometry, Lasers in the Preservation of Cultural Heritage describes the fundamental laser-matter interaction that underlies most restoration and cleaning methods, and examines applications to the most commonly encountered materials. The authors discuss structural diagnostics through interferometric techniques - methods that identify deformations and distortions at a much smaller scale than previously possible, as well as future prospects of laser techniques. This text is ideal for postgraduate students and researchers involved in artwork conservation and archaeological science using laser technology.
