On the use of photobleaching to reduce fluorescence background in Raman spectroscopy to improve the reliability of pigment identification on painted textiles

Subjecting a specimen of red lead watercolour paint on silk to photobleaching was demonstrated to be a simple means by which to engineer a reduction in the magnitude of the fluorescent background that was approximately exponential with time, with a corresponding improvement in the signal to noise ra...
