Optimum spectral window for imaging of art with optical coherence tomography
This paper is full report of work published in SPIE (2007), 6618, 661805, establishing that the optimum spectral window over which paints are most transparent is at around 2.2 microns and led to grant funding (AHRC/EPSRC AH/H032665/1 £661,417) to develop novel 2 micron broadband lasers for OCT imaging of paint in collaboration with University of Southampton (Prof Clarkson), the National Gallery (Marika Spring), English Heritage (David Thickett). Helped industrial partner Gooch & Housego plc (Andrew Robertson) in developing 2 micron fibre components, recognised by invited talk at CHARISMA workshop on application of OCT to structural analysis, June 2013, Torun Poland.
