Abstract

Fundamental studies were carried out on laser removal of various deposits from glass. An excimer laser λ = 248 nm was used to irradiate glass samples on which cleaning problems of stained glass windows were simulated. Ablation thresholds were estimated for various deposits to reveal the potential of excimer lasers in glass conservation.
