Cleaning Paint from glass using a laser
Lasers can clean all types of organic and manmade substances from glass surfaces. Here we see an example of paint being cleaned from a sensitive glass lens.
Versatile and capable of the most delicate cleaning tasks
What lasers can do
Using a laser to clean a Rose without damaging it's delicate petals
The ability of lasers to clean the most delicate of objects is demonstrated by using a lynton lasers Phoenix conservation laser system to remove soot from a red rose
Cleaning Pencil Markings from a sheet of paper.
Graphite and paper. Lasers can be adjusted to lift pencil marks from a fragile organic substance such as paper composed primarily of wood pulp and water with added finely shredded fabric. The highly combustible substrate being cleaned is perfect after the process.
Ridding machinery of rust.
This is what everyone expects and is used to seeing. A high powered laser beam cleaning strong dense materials such as steel or milled iron. We include this sample by way of counterpoint - our focus is at the other end of the fluence spectrum.

THE GREAT LASER PIONEERS
​
PHASE 1 – MAIMAN PHASE
​
Theodore Harold Maiman (July 11, 1927 – May 5, 2007) was an American engineer and physicist who is widely credited with the invention of the Laser
​
PHASE 2 – TOWNES PHASE
​
Charles Hard Townes (July 28, 1915 – January 27, 2015) was an American physicist who was an early pioneer and Nobel Prize Winner in the field of Masers and Lasers
​
PHASE 3 – SCHAWLOW PHASE
​
Arthur Leonard Schawlow (May 5, 1921 – April 28, 1999) was an American physicist who was an early pioneer and Nobel Prize Winner in the field of Lasers
​
PHASE 4 – FIOCCO PHASE
​
Giorgio Fiocco (13 June 1931 – 31 July 2012) was an Italian physicist who with Lou Smullin precisely measured the distance to the Moon using a LIDAR ruby laser for the first time in 1962.
