  6. The most interesting and best documented attempt to reproduce a life-size Shroud-like image is described in L. Garlaschelli, J. Im. Sci. Technol. 54, 040301-040301(14) (2010). References therein offer a comprehensive list of other attempts. See a critical review of this paper in: T. Heimburger, G.

  9. R. Rogers, A. Arnoldi, www.shroud.com/pdfs/rogers2.pdf (2002). In this document, Rogers and Arnoldi wrote: “Very intense, 50-ns-long bursts of UV ablated the cloth surface, and the samples were reduced to a cloud of very fine particles. We could not get a color with a flash of light.” In another document (www.shroud.com/pdfs/rogers6.pdf (2004)) Rogers criticised the radiative hypothesis of Jackson published in Shroud Spectrum International 34, 3-29 (1990) and wrote: “Experiments we did with pulsed ultraviolet lasers on linen resulted in ablation and destructive shock waves. Samples often were converted into a little amorphous powder and gas, ablate and convert linen into little amorphous powder and gas”. One of the authors (PDL) in 1991 was invited by Robert (Bob) Sze to visit his Excimer Laser Group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). All the “non restricted” experiments of Sze's group were equipped with excimer lasers emitting laser pulses each having a width in the 50–150-ns range, like those emitted by the Hercules ENEA excimer laser. Rogers was working at LANL, and we can speculate he asked Sze's group to make excimer irradiations of linen, and that they used the 50–150 ns laser pulsewidth they had at hands. As explained in Sect. 2.1, we obtained the same ablation results when irradiating linens with the 120 ns long Hercules laser pulses. The results described in Sects. 2.1 and 2.2 which are obtained using shorter-than-30-ns UV and VUV laser pulses demonstrate the paramount importance of the laser pulsewidth to achieve a Shroud-like coloration of linen [Google Scholar]
