Abstract:
1. An integrated device to remove a coating from a surface, the system comprising: a. a laser source to provide a laser pulse; b. scanning optics to direct the laser pulse along a laser path to a first position on the surface, whereby the laser pulse impinges the first position on the surface thereby ablating a portion of the coating from the first position; c. one or more light illuminators to provide a light illumination, each light illumination along a light illumination path, the light illumination impinging the first position on the surface; d. a photosensitive detector to receive light reflected from the surface as a result of the impinging light illumination and to measure the reflected light, wherein the reflected light is directed along a color sensing path, wherein all of the color sensing path is independent of all of the light illumination path; and e. a waste collection mechanism to collect the ablated portion of the surface.
