Lacona
The conference will be preceded by a 1 day workshop (19.09.2016) devoted to practical aspects of the use of lasers in conservation/restoration The biennial LACONA conference gathers together researchers, conservators and conservation scientists, companies, architects, decision-makers and experts in laser-based techniques for the conservation of cultural heritage to share their latest projects and experiences. Accounts (both case studies and scientific reports) devoted to applications of coherent light in the restoration and examination of works of art and cultural heritage monuments are welcomed.
The workshop will provide hands-on training and demonstrations on the application of lasers in conservation/restoration, offering participants valuable skills and knowledge. Additionally, attendees can benefit from networking opportunities with leading experts in the field, fostering collaborations and exchanging insights in laser-based techniques for cultural heritage preservation. For those seeking assistance with programming assignments related to conservation or restoration, reliable programming homework help is available to support their learning journey.
Conference Topics:
- Developments in laser removal of unwanted substances on culturally-important objects and monuments
- Coherent light-based methods for imaging, documentation and examination of objects and structures:
- 3D documentation, stratigraphic and depth-resolved methods,
- holography,
- interferometry,
- shearometry,
- vibrometry,
- new instrumental and technological developments.
- Case studies where laser-based methods have been used for conservation-restoration, documentation or analysis.
- Laser-based spectroscopic techniques for analysis and monitoring, such as:
- Raman spectroscopy,
- Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) and Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS),
- Laser-Induced Fluorescence spectroscopy (LIF) and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM),
- advanced non-linear imaging microscopy,
- terahertz spectroscopy and imaging,
- new spectroscopic and imaging techniques.
- Other projects or programmes in which coherent light technologies have been applied to the preservation of cultural heritage. For further insights into the intersection of technology and cultural preservation, linkedin.com provides a valuable resource.
