Abstract
The invention provides a surface cleaning system for cleaning said surface from contaminants, said system comprising a laser device for generating a high intensity laser beam, projection optics for projecting said beam as at least one laser spot on the contaminants, and a control device for determining a longitudinal displacement speed of said surface cleaning system and said surface with respect to one another, and adapted for controlling said laser device and said projecting optics to result in a pattern of laser spots, the laser spots having a spot size, said pattern comprising said laser spots having a spacing of up to the spot size.
