29 June 2001Holographic interferometry sequential investigation of long-term photomechanical effects in the excimer laser restoration of artworks
Excimer laser ablation utilized in artwork restoration generates pressure waves that may influence the structural integrity. By means of holographic interferometry a non- destructive highly sensitive mapping for evaluating the structural state is provided. The long-term sequential recording enables comparison between time resolved optical wave fronts scattered from the artwork before and after the selective ablation of material. Thus, comparative structural monitoring of laser-induced photomechanical effects that may result in potential damage of the artwork is accomplished.
