3 Aim of work The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of mouldy paper removed by using Nd-YAG (neodymium-YAG) laser. Artificial stained paper prepared from infesting with fungi was removed by laser treatments, in order to find out the suitable treated condition.

4 Results ◎ To running at 1064 nm of laser wavelength obtained superior cleaning, especially for the results to the black and /or darken fungal stains. ◎ The Nd-YAG laser treated specimens exhibited superior brightness improvements in the order of 10Hz,10pulses ; 10Hz,5pulses; 10Hz, 1puls. ◎ After removal of fungal stains on the surface of paper specimens, the IR absorbance spectra represent the fungi and amino acid on 1550 cm -1 and 1650 cm -1 respectively, were disappear or decreased obviously.

5 Conclusions 1.The Nd-YAG laser treated specimens exhibited superior brightness improvements after removal of fungal stains on the surface of paper specimens. 3. No significant difference was detected on the zero span strength of laser treated papers. 4.The Nd-YAG laser can be a viable alternative conservation medium for paper-based of artifacts and archives.
