How it works

 Laser cleaning operates on the principle of laser ablation, where a highly focused laser beam is directed at a surface to remove unwanted materials. 

1. Laser Emission: A laser device emits a concentrated beam of light. The wavelength, power, and pulse duration of the laser can be adjusted based on the material and type of contamination being removed.
2. Interaction with the Surface: When the laser beam hits the contaminated surface, it delivers a high amount of energy in a very short period. This energy is absorbed by the contaminants or the coating layer.
3. Ablation: The absorbed energy causes the contaminants to heat up rapidly. This intense heating leads to the vaporization or sublimation of the unwanted material, effectively removing it from the surface. In some cases, the contaminants may break down into smaller particles, which are then blown away by an air jet or vacuum system integrated into the laser cleaning setup.
4. Substrate Preservation: One of the key advantages of laser cleaning is its precision. The laser can be fine-tuned to target only the contaminants without damaging the underlying material, preserving the integrity of the substrate.
