Principle of Laser Cleaning

The absorption of the large energy forms a rapidly expanding plasma (a highly ionized unstable gas) that generates a shock wave.
The shock wave causes the pollutants to evaporate or peel off instantaneously.
With correct laser parameters and optimal wavelength, the base material will not be damaged or melted.
