These techniques are based on the PA effect\, which involves the generation of acoustic waves as a result of the absorption of intensity-variable optical radiation. The excitation and detection of PA signals through spectroscopic or imaging modalities is non-invasive and non-destructive and provides high optical absorption sensitivity at substantial depths within opaque media\, surpassing the performance of several purely optical diagnostic methods. \nIn this context\, we present a novel reflection-mode PA system integrating near-infrared pulsed excitation light and a spherically focused air-coupled ultrasonic transducer for the detection of the generated PA waves. The system is specifically developed to detect in-depth ageing effects in painted mock-ups and to reveal hidden underdrawings\, such as pencil sketches\, beneath non-transparent paint layers. To assess the performance of the system in detecting degradation phenomena\, PA responses were recorded from different pigmented layers that had undergone controlled thermal or photo-ageing treatments. The measurements revealed a progressive increase in the PA amplitude over time\, with distinct deterioration rates observed for various types of paint. \nAdditionally\, by employing a second-harmonic excitation wavelength at 532 nm and comparing the PA signal ratios obtained from the two excitation lines\, we aimed to enhance the method’s detection sensitivity while also expanding its applicability. Beyond the investigation of ageing effects in painted mock-ups\, the developed dual-wavelength PA approach enabled the identification of corrosion levels in various metals and alloys\, differentiation among inks of similar visual appearance\, and detection of degradation effects in artificially aged papers. Overall\, these results highlight the strong potential of PA detection as a complementary diagnostic technique to traditional methods\, offering highly sensitive and non-destructive insights into degradation mechanisms and subsurface features across a broad range of CH artifacts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Watch the Talk URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/lle-talk-non-invasive-photoacoustic-imaging-for-in-depth-cultural-heritage-diagnostics/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:expert group cultural heritage,laserlab-europe events,laserlab-europe talk,lasers4eu ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://laserlab-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/Thumbnail_eleanna.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20251215 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20251222 DTSTAMP:20260424T020929 CREATED:20241202T093629Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250106T072954Z UID:10000029-1765760400-1766278799@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:Pacifichem 2025: The International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies 2025 DESCRIPTION: URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/pacifichem-2025-the-international-chemical-congress-of-pacific-basin-societies-2025/ LOCATION:Honolulu\, Honolulu\, HI\, United States CATEGORIES:conference calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251217T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20251217T163000 DTSTAMP:20260424T020929 CREATED:20251216T104732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251216T104859Z UID:10000293-1765983600-1765989000@laserlab-europe.eu SUMMARY:RIANA Webinar: Additive-Subtractive Synergy in Ultrafast Digital Manufacturing DESCRIPTION:Title: Additive-Subtractive Synergy in Ultrafast Digital Manufacturing: Tunable Femtosecond-to-Picosecond Laser Processing for Highly Selective Ablation and Printing in Thin-Film Electronics and Photovoltaic Applications. \nSpeaker: Catalin Constantinescu\, CNRS-LP3 (Laserlab-Europe) \nDate: 17 Dec 2025\, 15:00-16:30 Central European Time \nThe convergence of additive and subtractive digital manufacturing is essential for producing multifunctional micro-/ and nano-structured devices with high spatial precision. This talk presents a unified fabrication platform based on a tunable femtosecond-to-picosecond ultrafast laser system\, enabling both highly-selective ablation\, and printing\, to be performed on a single optical setup\, without significant reconfiguration. By tuning the pulse duration from fs to ps\, we access a controlled transition from non-thermal\, electronically driven ablation to thermally assisted material transfer\, providing a powerful degree of freedom in processing hybrid organic/inorganic thin films\, functional multilayers\, and metal nanoparticle inks. This tuneability allows one to engineer selective ablation thresholds\, tailor jet dynamics in printing\, and optimize feature resolution and material integration. Furthermore\, a discussion on how laser-matter selectivity emerges from contrasts in absorption\, bonding energy\, thermal diffusion length\, and layer architecture\, is presented. Time-resolved microscopy and post-process characterization reveal how these parameters govern interface response and deterministic control of etching and printing. Such additive-subtractive synergy opens streamlined pathways for fabricating photonic components\, flexible electronics\, surface sensors\, and lab-on-chip devices\, as well as next-generation photovoltaic architectures\, including organic/inorganic hybrid thin films. These results demonstrate how tunable fs-ps laser processing redefines precision digital manufacturing for scalable functional device integration. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About RIANA URL:https://laserlab-europe.eu/event/riana-webinar-additive-subtractive-synergy-in-ultrafast-digital-manufacturing/ CATEGORIES:laserlab-europe events,projects,riana ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://laserlab-europe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/riana_logo.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
