Abstract

We study the effects of laser light on model samples of carbon black, varnish, and a variety of oil paints, and examine the mechanisms for ablation of various materials. The experimental results indicate that lasers can potentially be used to remove carbon black without any risk of damage to the surface of the oil painting being cleaned.
