Despite significant advances, laser ablation with nanosecond pulses presents limitations in dealing with the restoration of classes of painted works of art, such as paintings with a very thin layer of varnish. Femtosecond laser processing promises the means for overcoming such limitations. To this end, femtosecond ablation of two typical varnishes, dammar and mastic, is examined. For these varnishes, processing by Ti:Sapphire irradiation (800 nm) turns out to be ineffective. In contrast, irradiation with 248 nm similar to 500 fs laser pulses results in a higher etching resolution (etching rates of similar to 1 mu m/pulse or less). For irradiation with few laser pulses at moderate laser fluences, etched morphology is far smoother than in the processing with nanosecond laser pulses. Furthermore, chemical modi. cations are considerably reduced (by nearly an order of magnitude), and exhibit a number of additional novel differences. Both etching rates and extent of chemical modifications are largely independent of varnish absorptivity. In all, femtosecond UV laser irradiation is indicated to hold a high potential, offering new perspectives for the restoration of painted works of art. Finally, a tentative model is advanced accounting in a consistent way for the observations. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
