Title: Effect of the laser cleaning on the fluorescence characteristics of the parchment

Abstract: The effects of the laser radiation (λ = 1064nm and its 532nm harmonics at 2Hz) on the fluorescent characteristics of the parchment samples have been rendered evident with the aim of establishing the onset of the accelerated ageing process. The fluorescent characteristics pointing to the structural changes in the peptide chain were correlated with the spectral data from the IR and UV-VIS domains.

Key words: parchment, laser technique, fluorescence.
