Microsecond and nanosecond lasers have been studied in the past for laser cleaning applications, but femtosecond laser is rarely used for cleaning due to the greater possibility of ablation from the extremely high peak power (in gigawatt range) of ultrashort pulses. This paper reports the investigat...
