QUESTION
How does laser cleaning work?
answer
Laser cleaning uses a focused beam of light to vaporize contaminants from a surface without damaging the underlying material. The laser beam is directed through a fiber optic cable to a reflector system that emits the laser in the desired shape. The ultra-short laser pulses create high temperatures and pressures that evaporate impurities.
